ABSTRACT: This Special Issue reinforces the strategic role of mineralogical and geochemical characterization in tackling key scientific challenges associated with mineral resources, providing essential insights into ore genesis, mineral processing, environmental performance, and the sustainable supply of raw materials. The topics demonstrate how advanced analytical techniques and multidisciplinary approaches are improving knowledge of geological materials and Earth processes while supporting sustainable resource management, environmental protection, and cultural heritage conservation. Studies on lithium-bearing pegmatites, mining waste, and abandoned mine sites showcase the manner in which detailed mineralogical and geochemical research is able to uncover new resource opportunities, promote circular economy practices, and support responsible resource recovery. Contributions also explore applications in geoheritage and heritage conservation, including the use of geopolymers as sustainable restoration materials and the assessment of natural stones for monument preservation. Furthermore, environmental studies address soil geochemistry, environmental monitoring, and occupational health through innovative mineral and particle characterization methods. Several papers showcase cutting-edge analytical tools, including Raman spectroscopy, SEM-EDS, LA-ICP-MS, and ToF-SIMS, highlighting advances in analytical accuracy, efficiency, and data interpretation. This reprint provides an important reference resource for researchers working across Earth and materials sciences.
