An Internet based course designed for students without a strong background in basic science. The primary goal of the course is to present some introductory earth science and to provide students with a solid understanding of gemology. It includes coverage of the processes leading to the formation of gems in the Earth, how gems are identified, factors that affect the appearance and value of gems, processes used to enhance their appearance, materials used to simulate common gemstones, and issues associated with the synthesis of gems.
| |
Resource tracing the formation of the earth over 4.5 billion years, explaining how the earth has evolved, how to read rocks, why there are ocean basins, mountains and continents, what causes climate and climate change, and what makes the earth habitable. Provides details of rock collecting expeditions, the scientists involved, steps involved in preparing rocks for exhibition, and tools used on expeditions. Also features an illustrated glossary of geology terms and selected minerals.
