Detailed explanation-1: -Mineralogy is a branch of geology that deals with the formation, physical, chemical, optical and engineering properties of minerals. A naturally occurring inorganic solid that has a definite chemical composition and / or crystal structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mineralogy, and the instrumentation that is necessary to determine the structure, composition, and properties of minerals, plays a central role in the various branches of earth sciences such as petrology, structural geology, geochemistry, sedimentology, geophysics, and economic geology.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mineralogy is the study of the chemistry, crystal structure and physical properties of the mineral constituents of rocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -A “mineral occurrence” is a concentration of a mineral (usually, but not necessarily, considered in terms of some commodity, such as copper, barite or gold) that is considered valuable by someone somewhere, or that is of scientific or technical interest.

Detailed explanation-5: -: a science dealing with minerals, their crystallography, properties, classification, and the ways of distinguishing them. : the mineralogical characteristics of an area, a rock, or a rock formation.
