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 10586 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Min­er­al Por­trait - REE - Rare Earth El­e­mentsThis is the most comprehensive synopsis related to the history, the mineralogy, the exploitation and the most actual economic and political resumé on rare earth elements and their minerals to be found in the internet. 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)

Isle of MullDie ältesten Gesteine Großbritanniens, 2,7 Milliarden Jahre alte Sedimente und Aufschlüsse, die hochgradig metamorphe, vulkanische und magmatische Gesteine zeigen sowie über 1000 m mächtige, plateaubildende tertiäre Lavadecken: All das bietet die "Isle of Mull". Sie ist zudem Typlokalität zweier Mineralien und Heimat cm großer Saphire. Erik Hock lädt uns mit seinem Beitrag zu einem spanndenen Rundgang auf diese Insel ein und gibt uns einen Einblick in die dortigen geologischen Gegebenheiten. Auch die dem Bericht untergeordneten Lokalitäten sind einen Blick wert.

JadeWährend der Kolonialisierung Zentralamerikas (Anfang 16. Jh. bids Anfang 19. Jh.) durch die Spanier entdeckten diese, dass die Einwohner bestimmte grüne Steine als Heilsteine oder Amulette gegen Nierenleiden trugen. Die Spanier nannten diese Steine "piedra de ijada" (etwa Lenden- bzw. Nierenstein, auch als "Piedra de los riñones = Stein der Nieren / für die Nieren" bezeichnet). Der spanische Ausdruck "piedra de ijada" wurde ins Französische als "l’éjade" übernommen und ungefähr im 17. Jahrhundert fälschlich zu "le jade" umgebildet.

Der Begriff wurde in Europa dann auf Jade chinesischer bzw. asiatischer Herkunft ausgeweitet.

Die Verwirrung bezüglich der westlichen Begriffe Jadeit und Nephrit begann mit der Arbeit des französischen Geologen Alexis Damour, welcher den von den Spaniern aus Südamerika gebrachten "lapis nephriticus" als Pyroxen-Jadeit und die orientalische Varietät als ... ein Mineralienportrait geschrieben von Peter Seroka

The Mu­nich Mi­cro­moun­ters and their Lithothek„What will be the fate of my collection once I will no longer be able to collect? There are specimens of unique beauty and extreme rarity in the collection, pieces that cannot be replaced since some localities are closed or have been obliterated. All this might be thrown away because not many people realise the value and importance hidden in these little unimpressive boxes”. Many micromounters are worried by these considerations and other factors. “My collection is an important part of my life and of my personality. If my collection dissapears, I too, will cease to exist without trace”. We, the Micromounters of the Münchener Mineralienfreunde, are no exception. Many times the future of our collections was subject of our discussions and conversations. Children and grand children are not always appreciative of their parents’ or grandparents’ passion.

Dev­il's Pul­pitActually, this is a picturesque place in a well-kept forest. Nevertheless, in the past, evil itself is said to have preached to the damned here from a large, solitary, towering rock spur. Today, the term Devil's Pulpit inspires one to play with associations, as do the drawings of agates found here. Their fantastic outlines, coupled with the unusual shape of the secondary rock, evoke images in the viewer that he would not have suspected in a stone. And on the devil's pulpit no longer an evil demon is waiting for the agate collector, but other executive powers threatening with purgatory... a contribution by Klaus Schäfer and others (in german)

The Franken­holz Mine – A Hid­den Chapter of In­dus­trial His­to­ryFrom early tunnel construction in the 18th century to its final closure in the 1950s, the Frankenholz Mine in Germany’s Saar region was a key site of coal mining history. With ambitious shaft projects, its own cableway connection to Bexbach, and remarkable geological features – including fossil discoveries and natural oil seepages – the mine reflects both the rise of industrial progress and the dangers of underground work. Gas explosions, water ingress, and tragic accidents shaped the lives of thousands of miners. Frankenholz remains a compelling reminder of a bygone mining era.
