Crystallography: definition of mineral, three-dimensional periodical framework, crystal lattice, unit cell, crystal systems, symmetry elements, crystal structures, coordinates of atom, Bravais lattices, space groups, relation of crystal structures and chemical bonds, isomorphism, polymorphism, solid solutions series minerals. Morphology: crystal form, crystal habit, zone, law of zones, law of the constancy of interfacial angles, spherical projection, stereographic projection, law of the rational indices for crystal faces, indexing of crystal faces and crystal directions, 32 point groups. Physical properties of minerals: crystal form and crystal habit, crystals, crystal aggregates, specific gravity, cleavage, parting, fracture, hardness, color, streak, luster, piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity. Optical properties of minerals: refractive index, division of minerals according to their optical properties, optical indicatrix, relief, pseudoabsorption, colors, pleochroism, extinction, interference colors, interference figures. Overview of the most common methods used for mineral analysis: optical microscopy, electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, chemical analytical techniques. Principles of the crystallochemical classification of minerals, overview of the most important (most abundant) minerals and their properties, occurrences and impact on the environment.
