| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| Different types of physical-chemical properties of minerals and to understand the origin and evaluation. The main objective of this course, using the physical properties of different types of minerals to identify them. Hand made on samples of simple tests and experiments is a very common method in identifying the different types of minerals and rocks. | |||||
