Abstract
We live in technically oriented time with computers, internet and mobile
phones all around us which leads to the fact that we have less and less time. Any
information whether from science, technology, medicine, sport, politics, life etc.
could be easily assessed at any time and at any place on the planet Earth. The same
is with geology: volcanic eruptions, new minerals, ore exploitation, stock prices,
etc. In spite of a numerous data concerning minerals, petrology, and geology is
“disseminated” all over internet, the written word still have the key role in the
education of youth. This was the reason for writing this publication, Minerals of
rocks. It briefly presents and describes minerals, which take part in rock-forming
processes, along with their physical and chemical properties, genesis and the most
common associations.
Photos included, are made by authors themselves or were "borrowed" from
available websites. All of it was modified using graphic software and adjusted to
the text to illustrate things better.
Publication is meant for students of geology and mining, students of
archeology, biology, geography, civil-engineering, architecture, ecology, etc. It
will be of great value for studying minerals and rocks either when they take part in
different geological, physico-chemical, biological and ecological processes, or
when they are used for building, producing, living, for shelter and protection of
mankind`s diverse items since the very first days of their existence.
Publication requires at least a basic knowledge of mineralogy, as a
number of data, such as symmetry of crystals, structural and optical properties and
systematic of minerals, are shortly-given. Otherwise, this publication would be
incomprehensible.
A significant positive impact on the content, volume and a way of
presentation had the questions and discussions of students during lectures and
exercises from mineralogical, petrological and geological subjects along with
directions that arose either during student`s seminar, final, and diploma works or
master and doctor thesis. Neither less important were official and unendorsed
discussions with our colleagues and scientists of other branches.
No similar publication appeared or has been published prior to this. The
author hope that it will be helpful for students, explorers, for adornments of
minerals, rocks, geology and other earth sciences, i.e. for all whose study,
exploration, job, and inspiration encompasses even a bit of rock-forming minerals.
My deepest appreciation and thanks to Vidojko Jović, Ljiljana Karanović,
Nebojša Vasić, Rade Jelenković and Nataša Gerzina whose valuable advice and
help contributed to the quality and accuracy of this publication.
