Mineralogy is the scientific study of minerals, including their composition, structure, classification, and physical properties. It encompasses the crystallography, chemistry, and geological context of mineral species, as well as their formation processes and relationships with the Earth's geological environment. Minerals are naturally occurring, inorganic solids with a definite chemical composition and an ordered crystal structure. The field of mineralogy seeks to understand how these characteristics arise through geological processes such as crystallization from magma, precipitation from hydrothermal fluids, or metamorphic recrystallization.
The discipline integrates analytical techniques such as X‑ray diffraction, electron microprobe analysis, and spectroscopic methods to
Traditional mineral classification groups species by chemical composition and crystal structure, creating systems like the Dana
