I've written about minerals here at About Geology for more than 12 years. Now you can sign up for a series of six weekly emails that will take you systematically through the basics of mineral identification. It should be useful whether you're seeking extra help with a college course or embarking on a new hobby. Here's the syllabus:
- Lesson 1: What You Need to Start
- Lesson 2: How to Find and Examine Minerals
- Lesson 3: The Most Important Minerals
- Lesson 4: Minerals of Igneous Rocks
- Lesson 5: Minerals of Sedimentary Rocks
- Lesson 6: Minerals of Metamorphic Rocks

I do appreciate your weekly e-mails I receive, where I can refresh my memory, learn new advances in geology, petrology and mineralogy, and the world of Earth Science.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year with many thanks
