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 10532 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Cop­per - one of the old­est me­t­als of mankindCopper was one of the first metals ever extracted and used by humans, and it has made vital contributions to sustaining and improving society since the dawn of civilization.
The metal and its alloys have been used for thousands of years. Copper was first used in coins and ornaments starting about 8000 B.C., and at about 5500 B.C., copper tools helped civilization emerge from the Stone Age. In the Roman era, copper was principally mined on Cyprus, hence the origin of the name of the metal as сyprium (metal of Cyprus), later shortened to сuprum.

The discovery that copper alloyed with tin produces bronze marked the beginning of the Bronze Age at about 3000 B.C.
Copper is easily stretched, molded, and shaped; is resistant to corrosion; and conducts heat and electricity efficiently. As a result, copper was important to early humans and continues to be a material of choice for a variety of domestic, industrial, and high-technology applications today.

Its compounds are commonly encountered as copper(II) salts, which often impart blue or green colors to minerals such as azurite and malachite and have been widely used historically as pigments. ... a contribution by Peter Seroka

Pet­ri­fied For­est Na­tio­n­al ParkThe Petrified Forest is primarily a geological park, which owes its origin to the climate and geological events. It is part of the so-called Painted Desert and shows with its various layers a strange and impressive scenery. Characterized by erosion, it is a treasure trove of fossils. The rock formations show a chronicle of the past and give clues about the events of bygone days. In the park you can exposure rock strata until 234 million years ago. The colorful desert hills, the flat mesas and shaped hills attributable primarily to Chinle Formation and are fluvial sediments, caused by water movement. Countless fossilized wood and tree trunks bear witness to a scrumptious earlier fauna.

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.

Min­er­al Por­trait CalciteCalcite is one of the most abundant natural minerals. It is found in very different shapes, both compact as limestone as well as sinter in caves and in the crystalline state. But even in our daily life calcite is always present: in some regions it blockes water pipes as "chalk", we build our houses with it, it is in our food chain and without it we could not stand upright.

Calcite is not rare, but the varied mineral on Earth. The variety of forms and variations of the forms of calcite are unmatched in the world of mineralogy. By 2009, more than 800 Calcit forms have been described.

Ge­ol­o­gische Streifzüge auf Ibiza... Ähnlich ist es um die geologischen und mineralogischen Kenntnisse Ibizas bestellt. Zwar erschienen die ersten geognostisch - geologischen Arbeiten über die Balearen bereits recht früh (VIDAL & MOLINA 1888), jedoch stammt die erste detaillierte geologische Karte erst aus dem Jahr 1935 (HAANSTRA 1935; SPIKER 1935). Diese ist mit Modifikationen auch heute noch gebräuchlich. Insgesamt betrachtet sind deutschsprachige geologische Veröffentlichungen seither erstaunlich rar geblieben, was angesichts der zahlreichen deutschen Pensionäre, die sich auf Ibiza niedergelassen haben, doch verwundert. Auch die umfangreiche Bautätigkeit der letzten Jahrzehnte, die auch ehedem unzugängliche Plätze leicht erreichbar machte und darüber hinaus hervorragende Aufschlüsse schuf, blieb bedauerlicherweise geologisch - paläontologisch weitgehend undokumentiert...

Oden­waldDer Odenwald gehört zu den Varisciden – ein Gebirge welches bei der Kollision der Paläo-Kontinente Gondwana und Euramerika im mittleren Karbon, vor etwa 360-290 Mio. Jahren entstand. Im Zuge der variszischen Orogenese bildeten sich neben dem Odenwald unter anderem das Rheinische Schiefergebirge, Harz, Schwarzwald, Erzgebirge und der Spessart. Diese Aufbrüche des Grundgebirges sind Teil der sogenannten Mitteldeutschen Kristallinschwelle – eine Reihe von mehr oder weniger isolierten Kristallingebieten - die von der Haardt im Pfälzerwald über den kristallinen Odenwald und Spessart, das Ruhlaer Kristallin und Kyffhäuser bis nach Osteuropa verlaufen.

Min­er­al por­trait calcite... Among the most spectacular finds are the fantastic light blue calcites from the Julia mine in Bilbao, which enraptured collectors' hearts to about the mid-1970s. At about the same time the zinc mine Las Manforas at Aliva supplied excellent, highl lustrous Calcites, often associated with the world's best red Sphalerites. ...

Amonsgt the forms of calcite the pinacoid is unique as it consists of exactly two parallel and oriented perpendicular to the c-axis surfaces. All other Calcite forms have either six or twelve areas. The pinacoid is an open form, with which it can not really include space; so the pinacoid must accompany other forms on the calcite crystal ...
