Special Issue on Mineralogy and Petrology 

Mineralogy is the study of the chemistry, crystal structure and physical properties of the minerals and mineralized artifacts. Petrology is the study of volcanic, plutonic and metamorphic rocks, and the processes that form and transform them. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Mineralogy and Petrology.
