Course objectives
1. Crystal chemistry - the basic for the conception of the structure building of minerals (atoms, ions, bodings, coordinations, crystallization process, crystallization from melts and solutions, relationship between morphology and crystal structure). 2. Structural crystallography - periodic and no periodic arrangement in structures, operations, elements and groups of symmetry, polymorphs, polytypes, metamict state, investigation of structures, phase relations, phase diagrams. 3. Morphological crystallography - the reflection of the structure, point groups of symmetry, crystal forms, projections, twining. 4.-9. Classification of minerals - 6 lessons focused on minerals and groups of minerals not presented in Mineralogy I. a) Sulphides: b) Oxides and hydroxides: c) Carbonates, sulfates, phosphates. d) Silicates I. Tectosilicates: feldspar group, zeolite group. Phyllosilicates: mica group, chlorite group, clay minerals, serpentine group. e) Silicates II. Inosilicates: pyroxene group, amphibole group, pyroxenoids. Cyclosilicates. f) Silicates III. Sorosilicates. Nesosilicates. 10. Genetic mineralogy - origin of minerals in magmatic process. Typical minerals, phase relations, PTX conditions. 11. Genetic mineralogy - origin of minerals in metamorphic process. Typical minerals, phase relations, PTX conditions. 12. Genetic mineralogy - origin of minerals in hydrothermal, and sedimentary process. Typical minerals, phase relations, PTX conditions.
