Know:
- symmetry and morphology of crystals, types of symmetry, simple forms;
- chemical composition of minerals, the doctrine of isomorphism and crystal structures;
- modern concepts of morphology and anatomy of minerals;
- the nature of physical properties of minerals;
- modern doctrine of the genesis of minerals
Be able to:

- diagnose the main jewelry and ornamental stones and their imitations by physical properties.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful mastery of such disciplines as physics, chemistry, and mathematics.
Course content
Information is provided on crystalline and amorphous, natural and synthesized substances that are most often used as jewelry and manufacturing raw materials, symmetry and morphology of crystals, crystal chemistry, morphology and anatomy of minerals, the physical nature of the main properties of minerals, the genesis of the most common jewelry and manufacturing stones.
The task is to form in future specialists the ability to navigate the list of main jewelry and manufacturing stones, a clear idea of the minerals used as jewelry and manufacturing stones, the features of their morphology, anatomy and physical properties, as well as allow them to be diagnosed.
The purpose of the discipline is to familiarize students with the basic concepts and features of the mineralogy of jewelry and manufacturing stones; to teach students to use methods of primary (visual) diagnostics of the most common minerals used as jewelry and manufacturing raw materials.

Assessment methods and criteria
The results of students' academic activities are evaluated on a 100-point scale (0-59 points -fail, 60-100 - passed).
Semester assessment: - two written tests (max 10 points / min 6 points for each); survey / test / assessment for laboratory work (max 30 points / min 18 points); report (oral presentation and accompanying abstract) (max 30 points / min 18 points).
Final assessment - credit (max 20 points / min 12 points).
Final assessment in the form of credit is not mandatory, if the student refuses to participate in this form of assessment, the student will not receive the corresponding points for the final assessment.
