Min­er­al por­trait - Cerus­siteWho first discovered the mineral cerussite and where it was first found remains in the darkness of history. However, to give it a name, the first mention is attributed to the Renaissance scholar Conrad Gesner - which does not mean, however, that he discovered or first described the mineral. (Gesner (1516 to 1565) is considered the most famous and important naturalist and scholar of Switzerland)..... A mineral portrait of our unfortunately deceased friend Peter Seroka

Sil­ver - min­er­al­o­gy, min­ing and his­to­rySilver and silver minerals are amongst the most desirabe objects since the beginning of mineral collecting. Silver wires and curls from Kongsberg and Freiberg are the coronation of each mineral collection. Beautiful pyrargyrites and proustites enhance each collector's heatbeat.

However, silver is not only the essence of high-end collecting but has contributed essentially to the history of mankind. Uncountable remain the millions of greek and phenician slaves, middle age european miners and millions of indios who have left their lives for silver.

Silver is one of the seven metals known since thousands of years, already been mentioned in the bible. Mountains of slag in Asia Minor, Arabia and on the agaen islands prove technologies to produce silver from lead ore; knowledges people had been acquainted with since at least 4.000 year B.C. Since the antiquity silver had been used to make finery and ornaments, however, most of this metal was used to stamp coins. The monetary system of many countries was based on silver; the one, who owned silver, was able to finance wars. One of the main pillars of power of Athens, Rome, the Phenicians, the church, the kings and queens of Castilia, the Austrian house of Habsburg and, last not least, of the Americans had been their control over the richest silver mines and the wars, which they made by paying their soldiery with silver coins.

San Ti­m­o­teo Mine at La Union min­ing area, Mur­cia, SpanienGypsum needels and blue Baryte have made this mine known for mineral collectors. A recent report from Sept. 2012 shows that good finds are still possible. To visit this mine is relatively easy. The evacuation of the gypsum needels on the other hand is more difficult. Unfortunately, vandals have left their mark, but read and see it yourself. A report by Stefan Schorn. (Article in German)

Min­er­alien­por­trait Quarz ... Bergkristall war ein seltenes Rohmaterial für Kunstobjekte, wenngleich die Bearbeitungstechnologien in der Antike bekannt waren.

...Makrokristalliner Quarz ist nicht nur ein wichtiger, sondern primärer Bestandteil vieler Gesteine, weil er entweder bei der Bildung des Gesteins schon vorhanden war oder sich zusammen mit den anderen Mineralen entwickelte. Gut ausgebildete Quarzkristalle sind gewöhnlich ein sekundäres Produkt und können selbst in Gesteinen auftreten, welche ursprünglich Kieselsäure-frei waren, wie viele Basalte. Diejenigen Kristalle, welche bei der Differenzierung von Pegmatiten auftreten (entweder massiv als Rosenquarz oder als gut ausgebildete Kristalle in Hohlräumen) können als primäre Komponenten der Pegmatite betrachtet werden.

Mendig am Laach­er See in der EifelZu Beginn des Jahres 1973 entdeckte der Schmucksteinschleifer Philip Hobein aus Kirschweiler bei Idar Oberstein hinter dem Restaurant 'Laacher Mühle' einige blaue Körner kristalliner Enstehung. Diese Körner weckten sein Interesse, zumal er schon einige Erfahrung im Schliff verschiedener, nicht als Schmucksteine bekannter Mineralien hatte. In seiner Werkstatt versah er diese xenomorphen Körner mit einem Fazettschliff. Das Resultat war die Geburt eines neuen Schmucksteins von saphirblauer Farbe und sehr schöner Transparenz - dem Mineral Hauyn, benannt nach dem französischen Kristallographen R. J. Haüy (1743 bis 1822) (Brunn-Neergard, 1807).

Stone tum­bling - Our ex­pe­ri­encesWe do not thumble stones to get smooth and even things that look like the tumbled stones in the esoteric shops, but to discover the secret of the stone. We have thumbled stones in the spirator for years and have documented our experiences with stones, machinery, abrasives and polishing techniques. Our experience will help you to avoid errors and run approach to the subject.

Min­er­al por­trait calcite... Among the most spectacular finds are the fantastic light blue calcites from the Julia mine in Bilbao, which enraptured collectors' hearts to about the mid-1970s. At about the same time the zinc mine Las Manforas at Aliva supplied excellent, highl lustrous Calcites, often associated with the world's best red Sphalerites. ...

Amonsgt the forms of calcite the pinacoid is unique as it consists of exactly two parallel and oriented perpendicular to the c-axis surfaces. All other Calcite forms have either six or twelve areas. The pinacoid is an open form, with which it can not really include space; so the pinacoid must accompany other forms on the calcite crystal ...
