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 10521 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Das Spektrum des an der Probe gestreuten Lichts wird gemessen. Ein sehr kleiner Teil des zurückgestrahlten Lichts weist Frequenzunterschiede zum eingestrahlten Licht auf (Raman-Shift). Diese entsprechen den für das Material charakteristischen Energien von Rotations-, Schwingungs-, Phonon- oder Spinflip-Prozessen. Der Raman-Effekt kann weitgehend symmetrisch im längerwelligen (Stokes-Seite) oder kürzerwelligen (Anti-Stokes-Seite) Bereich beobachtet werden. Vielfach wird nur ein Bereich (die Stokes Seite, also längerwellig) gemessen um den apperativen Aufbau in Grenzen zu halten...

Bei der Masse der vorhandenen Literatur reichen die hier gemachten Angaben im Allgemeinen aus, um sich einen Überblick zu verschaffen. Unter den einzelnen Gruben lassen sich weitere Angaben finden und hoffe dem interessierten Leser und Sammler genügend Stoff an die Hand gegeben zu haben. In diesem Zusammenhang möchte ich mich bei den vielen Informanten bedanken, die mir schriftliches Material zukommen ließen und ihr Wissen näher gebracht haben und die mir zum Teil erstklassiges Stufenmaterial veräußerten um das Wölsendorfer Revier von einer Seite zu beschreiben, die es in dieser Form bisher nicht gegeben hat.

Min­er­al por­trait gar­netThis portrait mainly deals with the 6 classic garnets, their amazing history, the world’s best known classic and modern localities and deposits and their use as a gems or abrasives. It also deals with the common belief related to the non-existence of blue garnets and its refutation proven by new finds. A separate chapter deals with synthetic garnets. But it also deals with the mix up of definitions, groupings and old and unnecessary terms, which have finally been terminated or brought to a common denominator.

In 2012 the IMA (CNMNC) has defined garnets as members of the Garnet Supergroup, which include all minerals isostructural with garnet regardless of what elements occupy the four atomic sites; i.e. the supergroup includes several chemical classes . Those minerals are closely related to each other and may form a series with each other. Some garnets form intermediary minerals between each member, and may even be intergrown within a single crystal.

With the publication of the new nomenclature of the garnet supergroup, the term “garnet group” does not have its meaning anymore and the intermediate working term “Garnet superstructural group” has been replaced by “Garnet Supergroup”.
There are 32 approved species and 5 “candidate” species waiting on approval. The 32 species are subdivided by their Z-charge into 29 species, which belong to 5 groups and to 3 single representative species.
One of those 5 groups is the “Garnet group”, consisting of the 6 former (classic) garnets Pyrope, Grossular, Spessartine, Almandine, Uvarovite and Andradite plus 8 rarer garnets , as Menzerite-(Y), Eringaite, Goldmanite, Momoiite, Knorringite, Calderite, Majorite and Morimotoite.

De­posits are one of the most im­por­tant top­ics in ge­ol­o­gy. Peter Sero­ka has ad­dressed the is­sue in sev­er­al years of work and has writ­ten an up-to-date ge­o­log­i­cal sum­mary. He ded­i­cat­ed his work to the 15 th an­niver­sary of Min­er­alie­nat­las.

Peter Seroka has addressed the issue in several years of work and has written an up-to-date geological summary. He dedicated his work to the 15 th anniversary of Mineralienatlas. The work gives detailed information regarding the origin of deposits, the different types of deposits and their classification. Examples of economically important deposits complete the chapters. Provided that this comprehensive work would be printed it would be a volume of over 400 pages; here it is provided in its entirety, online. Thanks to Peter Seroka. (written in german language).
