Over time, rocks weather due to the influence of wind, water, ice, and daily and seasonal temperature differences. These weathering products form then short the pedosphere (the ground), go into solution in water (chemistry), are transported as dust, and similar processes. Long term, but they rearrange stable, lithify and form sedimentary rocks, are transported into the deep, and after transformation (metamorphosis) reveal pushed back ...

Status Quo bedeutet im weiteren Sinn die Klassifizierung nach dem Strunz-System, insbesondere aber die Anerkennung bzw. Aberkennung (Diskreditierung) der nachstehenden Mineralien durch die international verbindliche IMA-Regelung... Ein Beitrag unseres verstorbenen Freundes Peter Seroka |

Inclusions can be a sort of fingerprint of the place of dicovery. Thus inclusions show us under which geologic conditions minerals had formed. This allows conclusions on the place of discovery. The article deals with the different kinds of inclusions, her conditions of build, which minerals do often have inclusions and how they appear. (Full text in german) |
