Module objectives/intended learning outcomes
Lectures are given with the aim to provide knowledge about physical- chemical properties within elements which give the order of crystal shape, know and determine the crystal and their class character.
The course also explains how to identify minerals from the physical- chemical properties and mineral associations in relation to know what type of igneous rocks, pyroclastic, sedimentary, and metamorphic, as well as the presence of alteration minerals in the system and the formation of precious stones.
Students have basic knowledge about relation within crystal-mineral rocks.
Students have the ability to identify groups of minerals, know the process and the condition of minerals presence, to be used to describe rocks and economic mineral deposits.
Content The lecture examines the crystal axes and its projection to know the crystal system on the ideal minerals, included the symmetry elements of crystal, repetition, growth-twinning pattern, physical and chemical character for minerals identification. The lecture also explains mineral association to form igneous, pyroclastic, sedimentary and
metamorphic rocks, as well as mineral association in economic deposits and gemstones.
The lectures give an overview of the following topics:
1. Introduction
2. Regularity and Crystal Internal Structure 3. Crystal System and Symmetrical Element
4. Projection in Crystallography and Crystal Classification 5. Repetition Pattern in Crystallography
6. Chemical System in Crystal
7. Mineralogy and Mineral Chemistry
8. Physical Properties Identification of Mineral 9. Mineral Classification
10. Mineral Association in Igneous and Pyroclastic Rocks 11. Mineral Association in Sedimentary Rocks
12. Mineral Association in Metamorphic Rocks 13. Altered Mineral Gemstone
