This is the hoempage for a course on mineralogy at Auburn University. This course is designed as an introduction to the study of crystals, minerals, and assemblages of minerals (rocks). Specific goals of the course include familiarizing the student with the common, rock-forming minerals, how to identify samples of these minerals, and providing an understanding of important relationships among their physical properties, chemical composition, crystal structure, and geologic occurrence. The Course Calendar is a syllabus of topics for each day and corresponding lecture notes. A link to the Auburn University Virtual Mineral Collection contains photos of minerals, as well as a listing of mineral properties and major mineral groups. A listing of additional mineralogy web sites is also available.
