Mineralogy classifies in crystal science (1), mineral science (2) and petrography (3).

  • Crystal science or crystallography knows 230 crystal structures or space groups.
  • Mineral Science split in geochemistry, special mineralogy and applied mineralogy.
  • Petrography describes mono- or polymineralic aggregates of minerals.

    • Tools of a mineralogist are
  • Knowledge of chemical reactions of raw materials in use and their phase diagrams.
  • Experience and skills in handling a x-ray powder diffraction [XRD] and calorimeter.

  • Literature and Internet-Links to mineralogy and cement chemistry.
