Mineralienatlas (name for mineral atlas) is the platform for people interested in mineralogy, geology, palaeontology and mining since 2001. We operate a significant database for minerals, fossils, rocks and their localities. Mineralienatlas is not limited to a section. We bring together information and inform comprehensive.

To complete our information constantly, we need your support. With us, everyone can and should participate. Currently Mineralienatlas is used and expanded by 10531 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

TwinsThe study of twins starts due to the very first beginnings of crystallography as a science. Not negligible for this reason, the idea or the concept of a twin crystal are often associated with a macroscopic building. Modern studies at the nano scale have shown that the formation of twins can occur at a very early stage of crystal growing. Based on these findings, it does beg the request to reconsider the formation mechanisms, and adjacency to the newly different categories. (Text in german)

Mi­na Pre­cau­ción - La Unión min­ing area - spainFor Mineral collectors who travel in their vacation to the mining area of La Union, the mina Precaución is an easy to reach and in 2010 a worthwhile target to collect attractive pieces with hemimorphite, calcite and more minerals on contrast rich matrix. Equipped with helmet, forehead lamp, chisel and hammer nice pieces can be rescued easily, taking into account the security rules for mining visits.

Ge­o­log­ic and min­er­a­log­i­cal ex­pe­di­tion through Namibia and the Na­maqua­landReport about a geologic - and geology of deposits excursion through central and southern Namibia as well as the Namaqualand bordering to the South and parts of the Northern cape in autumn, 2009., Amongst other localities in Namibia the author visited the tin deposit Uis, the explorations project Namib Lead near Swakopmund, as well as the important mines Rosh Pinah and Scorpion Zinc in the south of Namibia. In the Republic South Africa the trip led to the copper mining region of Okiep as well as the lead zinc mines of Aggeneys and, finally, to the Kalahari manganese ore districts of Postmasburg and Kuruman.

Tox­iz­ität von Min­er­alienIn der Natur finden sich einige anorganische Verbindungen, deren Gefährdungspotential von den Sammlern häufig unterschätzt wird. Zwar liegen die tödlichen Mengen, im Vergleich zu höhermolekularen organischen Giftstoffen deutlich höher, aber es besteht auch die Gefahr der Anreicherung eines Giftsoffes im Körper, wodurch verschiedene Krankheiten (z.B. Krebs) ausgelöst werden. Als akut toxisch ist beispielsweise .. Ein beitrag von Andreas Brand

Die Felsen­wege von St. Ar­nu­al bei Saar­brück­enIm Saarland ist der in Oberer, Mittlerer und Unterer Teil geteilte Buntsandstein, der frühesten Abteilung der Trias, nur mit den beiden jüngeren Stufen vertreten. Der Untere Buntsandstein ist nicht zu finden. In St. Arnual, am Ostabhang des Sonnenberges bei Saarbrücken, sind diese beiden Altersstufen eindrucksvoll aufgeschlossen. Folgt man den sogenannten Felsenwegen entlang der Saar, so erkennt man das Profil, einschließlich der Violetten Grenzzone, die die Trennung vom Mittleren zum Oberen Buntsandstein darstellt.

The Mu­nich Mi­cro­moun­ters and their Lithothek„What will be the fate of my collection once I will no longer be able to collect? There are specimens of unique beauty and extreme rarity in the collection, pieces that cannot be replaced since some localities are closed or have been obliterated. All this might be thrown away because not many people realise the value and importance hidden in these little unimpressive boxes”. Many micromounters are worried by these considerations and other factors. “My collection is an important part of my life and of my personality. If my collection dissapears, I too, will cease to exist without trace”. We, the Micromounters of the Münchener Mineralienfreunde, are no exception. Many times the future of our collections was subject of our discussions and conversations. Children and grand children are not always appreciative of their parents’ or grandparents’ passion.

Al­ten­berg Tin MineThe Altenberg tin mine is well known for its huge surface break left by the mining activities. Among mineral collectors the mine is famous as well for its unique Pycnite deposit, a variety of topaz occurring in massive columnar aggregates up to a length of 30 cm.

The mining started in 1440 and continued, with several ups and downs and some total shut-down periods, until 1991. The mining activities aimed for a plutonic granite body (350 to 400 metre in diameter and hydrothermally mineralized mainly with cassiterite and smaller amounts of wolframite, molybdenite, arsenopyrite, bismuth and others) and managed to extract a total sum of 37 million tons of ore. The huge surface break, called "The Altenberger Pinge", is the result of several roof collapses caused by excessive ore excavation and later on the continued drawing of caved material from the bottom of the fracture zone.

Collectible minerals were rare and small, so the Altenberg tin mine became never as famous as the Freiberg or Ehrenfriedersdorf districts, but its unique geology and mining technology made it quite interesting and worth a closer look.
