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.

Die ca. 2 km2 große Insel liegt mitsamt ihrer kleineren Nachbarinsel, der Düne, ca. 60 km vor der Elbmündung in der Deutschen Bucht (Germanisches Becken), wie dieser Teil der östlichen Nordsee genannt wird. Die Insel ist neben den beiden dänischen Inseln Møn und Seeland, und der Kreideinsel Rügen in der Ostsee ebenfalls aus festem Gestein aufgebaut, was sie deutlich von den aus Lockersedimenten aufgebauten Nordfriesischen Inseln unterscheidet. Mit 245 Millionen Jahre altem Gestein ist sie zugleich auch die älteste Insel. Die auffällige Rotfärbung des Inselgesteins wurde durch intensive lateritische Verwitterung und die Oxidation von Eisen hervorgerufen. Ihr Alter, das Erscheinungsbild und die isolierte Lage macht sie also zu etwas besonderem, weshalb ihr jedes Jahr ca. eine halbe Million Menschen einen Besuch abstatten. Sie ist aber ...

The metal and its alloys have been used for thousands of years. Copper was first used in coins and ornaments starting about 8000 B.C., and at about 5500 B.C., copper tools helped civilization emerge from the Stone Age. In the Roman era, copper was principally mined on Cyprus, hence the origin of the name of the metal as сyprium (metal of Cyprus), later shortened to сuprum.

The discovery that copper alloyed with tin produces bronze marked the beginning of the Bronze Age at about 3000 B.C.
Copper is easily stretched, molded, and shaped; is resistant to corrosion; and conducts heat and electricity efficiently. As a result, copper was important to early humans and continues to be a material of choice for a variety of domestic, industrial, and high-technology applications today.

Its compounds are commonly encountered as copper(II) salts, which often impart blue or green colors to minerals such as azurite and malachite and have been widely used historically as pigments. ... a contribution by Peter Seroka
