Petrography combines field observations with laboratory analysis to identify minerals, textures, and relationships within rocks. It
Techniques used in petrography include optical microscopy of thin sections under polarized light, which helps identify

Applications span mineral exploration, engineering geology, environmental and archaeological studies, and academic research. Petrography remains foundational
Historically, the field matured in the 19th century with figures such as Henry Clifton Sorby, who advanced
