Brief description
The lectures discuss important gemstones and ornamental stones from the point of view of mineralogy. Each stone is presented along with its physicochemical characteristics, its value for ornamental puroposes, its origin and natural occurence, its most important deposits, as well as its market, types of cuts, methods of improving the atractiveness and of imitation, and the means of its identification. The historical role of the most important gemstones will also be discussed, as well as the often turbulent fortunes of the most famous gems. |

Brief description
The lectures continue the presentation of important gemstones and ornamental stones from the winter semester (Gemology part 1). They discuss also organic gemstones and noble metals. Each stone is presented along with its physicochemical characteristics, value for ornamental puroposes, its origin and natural occurence, its most important deposits, as well as its market, types of cuts, methods of improving the atractiveness and of imitation, and the means of its identification. |

Brief description
The course is conducted in the form of a field and laboratory practice. It includes a field course and stationary classes in some selected laboratories of the Faculty of Geology at the University of Warsaw. During the field course, students perform technical and research activities on a rock geological section. During full-time classes, they participate in the presentation of equipment and selected research methods in the laboratories of the Faculty of Geology. In the laboratories of WG, they prepare the research results they have collected. Students work individually. They prepare an individual multimedial presentation or poster with substantive applications, which is the basis for passing the course. At each stage of the students' work, lectures are conducted on an ongoing basis to supplement their knowledge and consultations. |
