🇬🇧🇪🇸 mineralogy - mineralogía : English Lesson

Meaning of "mineralogy" ("mineralogía"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Mineralogy is the science of studying minerals, which are the tiny building blocks that make up rocks. People who study mineralogy look closely at things like shiny crystals, colorful gemstones, and the little grains inside rocks to learn what they are made of, how they formed, and how they can be used. It’s like being a detective for rocks, using tools, tests, and close observation to discover each mineral’s secret story.

I told my teacher I was late because of mineralogy, but really I just stopped to collect ten shiny rocks on the way to school.

I tried to impress my crush with mineralogy, but tripping over a rock sample was not the experiment I planned.

Our mineralogy field trip turned into a workout when we realized rocks don’t carry themselves back to the bus.

My sister said mineralogy is boring, so I told her some minerals glow in the dark and suddenly she became a fan club.

On a sunlit trail, a student brushed dirt from a glassy stone and whispered mineralogy. The teacher smiled, saying mineralogy, opening a dusty book titled mineralogy.
