Wenn die Körner plattenförmige (laminae) Gestalt haben, so bezeichnet man diese Aggregate, je nach Größe, als schuppig oder blättrig (lamellar). Die individuellen Platten sind im Allgemeinen parallel, können aber auch um ein gemeinsames Zentrum gebogen sein und konzentrische Formen bilden. Wenn die Platten dünn und trennbar sind, bezeichnet man die Aggregate als blättrig oder schieferig. Wenn ein Mineral aus kleinen Schuppen besteht, wird es als glimmerartig bezeichnet.

Although visitor numbers appeared slightly lower than last year, the fair remained vibrant and diverse. Highlights included the collector displays and the special exhibition on natural resources, while the fossil section was somewhat smaller.

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). |
