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 10586 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.
 
Geolitho Foundation non-profit GmbH
Geolitho Foundation non-profit GmbH is the non-profit supporter of the Mineral Atlas (Mineralienatlas), the Lithotheque, the Geolitho Collection Management and the Marketplace and Store by collectors for collectors. The Foundation promotes public education in the field of mineralogy, geology, paleontology and mining by operating, maintaining and further expanding earth science projects.

Calcite 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 ... moreCalcite 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.

At the site Palioka­mariza Mine No. 18 (Pla­ka, Lavri­on, At­ti­ca, Greece), yel­low, nee­dle-like ura­ni­um min­er­als were ob­served grow­ing on gyp­sum. Un­der UV light (365 nm), two dist­inct flu­o­res­cence col­ors ap­peared: short­er, thin­n­er nee­dles glowed bright green, while longer, well-formed nee­dles glowed yel ... moreAt the site Paliokamariza Mine No. 18 (Plaka, Lavrion, Attica, Greece), yellow, needle-like uranium minerals were observed growing on gypsum. Under UV light (365 nm), two distinct fluorescence colors appeared: shorter, thinner needles glowed bright green, while longer, well-formed needles glowed yellow...

This study illustrates a notable epitaxial relationship between Boltwoodite (green luminescent) and Sklodowskite (yellow luminescent) on a gypsum matrix, discovered at Lavrion, Greece. Luminescent differentiation under UV, combined with spectroscopic and EDX analyses, revealed the intergrowth of the two uranium silicates—providing insight into their growth and crystallization behavior

Begleitet wird der Hauptgang von einigen ins Liegende ablaufende, bogenförmige Nebentrümer, auf denen u.a. die Grube Alter Theuerdank gebaut hat. Über Tage ist der Ausbiss an Pingen und Schürflöchern gut zu erkennen. Wie Harnischflächen belegen, stellt der Reiche Troster Gang eine Abschiebung dar, wobei die hangende Scholle mit einem Versatzbetrag von wenigen Metern abgesunken ist. Er kann als eine diagonale Verbindung ("Diagonaltrum") zwischen dem Wennsglücker Gang im Norden und dem St. Jacobsglücker Gang im Süden aufgefasst werden....

Best specimen are known from Freiberg, Clausthal, Dornbach and Pribram adorned the former Minerals cabinets of Johann Richter, Karl Pabst von Ohain, Christian Ludwig Stieglitz, Caroline Louise of Baden, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Abraham Gottlob Werner, Ignaz von Born, Sigmund Zois and other prominent collectors of the 18th to early 19th century. The first chemical analysis undertook M. H. Klaproth in 1784; the name Pyromorphit, from the Greek "pyro" for fire and "Morpho" for form, was of J.F.L. Hausmann 1813 awarded. The reason for this peculiar ... An article by Peter Seroka in german language
