Abstract

Retrospect on how mineralogical sciences have developed is briefly given from Greek time to the present. Based on this retrospect, the author's prospect on future trend of mineralogical sciences is discussed. In widening the field of application of mineralogy to the systems like extra-terrestrial materials, biominerals, environmental materials, it is stressed that understanding of interface structure and kinetics at atomic level will become crucial, in addition to that of bulk phase and equilibrium thermodynamics.
