One of the topical problems of science in general at present is spreading the newest discoveries among population as well as among the decision-makers. “Mineralogical sciences” (mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology) affect the wide spectrum of human activities. Such an influence can already be traced in prehistory, and in the modern age the significance of the mentioned geoscience branches is on the increase. The author presents here a review of selected applications of mineralogical sciences in the development of mankind.
