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 10530 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Der Begriff Karst steht für die Gesamtheit der Formen von durchlässigen, wasserlöslichen Gesteinen (z.B. Kalkstein, Gips, Salze), die durch Oberflächen- und Grundwasser ausgelaugt werden. Als verkarstende Gesteine gelten in der Reihenfolge ihre Löslichkeit Salze (Anhydrit, Gips, Kalk- und Quarzgesteine (Sandstein, Quarzite)). Durch Lösungsvorgänge kommt es zu charakteristischen Karsterscheinungen. An der Oberfläche sind dies z.B. Karren (Schratten), Dolinen, Uvalas, Poljen, Schlotten, Erdorgeln. Zu den unterirdischen Karsterscheinungen gehören oft weit verzweigte Höhlen und die typischen Erscheinungen der Karsthydrographie: unterirdische Flussläufe und Karstseen, Karstquellen, die unter ... ein Beitrag von Peter Seroka

Special chapters deal with the fluorite deposits and global settings, the mining of fluorspar and ore processing; One chapter shows the development of fluorite collecting in the past and now.

The most comprehensive part of the book is dedicated to the mineral's worldwide deposits, describing the best known old, classic and modern occurrences in 96 countries . A great number of mineral and mining photographs accompany each chapter, showing the characteristics of most fluorites from a specific deposit.

Das seit 1958 blei- und zinkerzfördernde Bergwerk Daoping ist unter Sammlern durch hervorragende, wenn nicht sogar weltbeste Pyromorphitstufen bekannt geworden. Die am Haiyang-Shan-Berg gelegene Mine wurde 2003 mit der nahgelegenen Yangshuo Mine unterirdisch verbunden. Während die Daoping Mine im Bezirk Gongcheng liegt, ist die Yangshuo-Grube Teil des Yangshuo-Bezirkes. Beide Gruben bauen denselben Erzkörper ab. Es ist daher nicht verwunderlich das gute Pyromorphitfunde in beiden Gruben gemacht wurden. Die bisher besten Pyromorphite ... Ein Artikel von René Gervers mit Beitrag von Roland Noack

REE belong to the most important raw materials of the 21st century, which are used in a large number of key technologies. However, due to the fact that almost 97% of the world's REE are mined and produced in China, REE have become an ongoing political issue, mainly amongst technology providing countries like the US, Japan and Western Europe.

This portrait tries to explain the characteristics of REE and their role for our modern world. Written and investigated by Peter Seroka. (Article in german)

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. The work gives de­tailed in­for­ma­tion re­gard­ing the ori­gin of d ... moreDeposits 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. 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).
