Al­ten­berg (Vieille Mon­tagne)... Die Nutzung der Zinkerze der Lagerstätte Altenberg ist seit 1344 belegt. Dort wurde Galmei abgebaut, welches schon vor der Erfindung der Direktverhüttung von Zinkerzen die Messingherstellung ermöglichte. Die hier betrachtete Lagerstätte Altenberg kann allerdings, im Gegensatz zur benachbarten Lagerstätte Gessenich (römisch: Grasciniacum) im Stolberger Raum, nicht bis in die Römerzeit zurück verfolgt werden. Auf den aktuellen topografischen Karten (z.B. Top25 Deutschland, Blatt 5202 Aachen) ist der Altenberg nicht mehr zu finden... ein Beitrag von Norbert Kirchhoff

Chessy-les-MinesUnter den klassischen Fundstellen für Azurit nimmt die Kupfererzlagerstätte Chessy-les-Mines nordwestlich von Lyon eine hohen Stellenwert ein. Diese Azurite sind unter Sammlern als "Chessylith" bekannt. Erst seit einigen Jahren kommen aus China Stufen auf den Sammlermarkt, die an die Stücke aus Chessy in etwa heranreichen. Chessy-Azurite besitzen bei Sammlern einen mindestens ebenso hohen Stellenwert wie Stücke aus Tsumeb, sind aber seltener und, in guter Qualität, unbezahlbar geworden. Funde werden, in bescheidenem Ausmaß, noch in den alten Halden getätigt. Die Größe der heute noch zu findenden Stücke haben in etwa den Durchmesser von Haselnüssen. Die Halden befinden sich in Privatbesitz und die Suche ist auf einen französischen Sammlerkreis begrenzt. Selten tauchen auf Börsen kleinere Stücke auf und Besitzer von Chessylithen trennen sich ...

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.

Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines 2015 - Fair vis­itWho knows Tucson with its many satellite events, has already a good taste of the Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines show. Unlike in Munich where you find the stands clear and concentrated in halls, the organizers use single fenced-off parts of the city to place the stands on the streets. Public buildings such as swimming pool, school and theater are transformed into smaller exhibition halls... A small showreport by Stefan Schorn (in german)

The Mu­nich Show 2024The mineral fair ended successfully and the author of this article received only positive feedback. Many dealers were extremely satisfied. According to the organizer, 18,000 guests visited the halls on Saturday alone. Both days were a hive of activity and the numerous children's attractions were well received. Parents were everywhere with their children to complete the geo-rally.

For mineral collectors, the usual dealers were on site, although some tables remained empty. There were no highlights from the scene or overflowing tables with identical material from new finds. However, one stand with an impressive selection of Germanite chunks was a welcome novelty.

The special exhibition “The Impossible Crystal” was a success. Even if not all the exhibits could be described as “impossible crystal”, all the pieces were of the best quality and well worth seeing. In the B halls, the author visited the “Young Designers”, including a student who presented cast silver jewelry in an organic design that showed off the embedded stones to their best advantage - an impressive piece of work...
