Flu­o­reszenz von Min­er­alienDie Fluoreszenz wurde zum ersten Mal beim Fluorit - einem Calcium-Fluorid - beobachtet (daher auch die Bezeichnung). Fluoreszenz beginnt sofort mit der Anregung durch die Lichtquelle und endet auch mit ihr (im Gegensatz dazu ist Phosphoreszenz ein Nachleuchten). Unter Tageslicht-Fluoreszenz versteht man eine Fluoreszenz, die durch den UV-Anteil im natürlichen Licht verursacht wird und z.B. manche Fluorite unter natürlichem bzw. künstlichen Licht andersfarbig erscheinen lässt.

Ge­o­log­ic Por­trait - Weather­ing and Ero­sionWeathering is a continous process by which rocks are broken down and decomposed by the action of humidity (rain), wind, temperature changes, chemical agents, bacteria and plants. Being an integral part of the rocks cycle, weathering is the initial stage towards denudation, which results in general lowering of the land surface. An essential feature is that it affects rocks in situ; no transportation is involved. This is the factor which dsitinguishes weathering from erosion. The two main types of weathering are mechanical and chemical. Climate plays a leading role in weathering, whereas chemical weathering is almost absent in arid regions. Effecrtive freeze-thaw cycles are confined to cold temperate and permafrost climates.

Erosion is part of the process of denudation which involves the wearing away of land surface by mechanical action of transported debris. Main cycles of erosion are glaciers, wind erosion, marine erosion.

The min­ing area Marien­berg in the Erzge­birge Re­gionAfter the discovery of silver deposits in Christiansdorf - the now called Freiberg - over the time the mining was also expanded on the upper mountain. Thus from about 1240, the tin deposits (with the beginnings of subsurface mining also silver) around Ehrenfriedersdorf was mined. By finding rich silver adits in the 2nd third of the 15th Century the great mountain towns like Schneeberg (municipal law since 1477) and Annaberg (municipal law since 1496) was founded.

Grube St. Ge­org (Reich­er Ge­org)„Den heutigen Befunden nach bildete damals ein einziger steil einfallender „Erzfall“ die Quelle für den kurzzeitigen märchenhaften Reichtum. Dem Ausstrich des Ganges folgen über Tage einige 4–8 m tiefe Pingen, die verbrochene Schürfschächtchen darstellen und bis auf die Sohle des St. Georg Stollens reichten. Das erst in diesem Niveau aufsetzende eigentliche Erzmittel wies eine streichende Erstreckung von kaum mehr als 50 m auf und reichte bis zur Sohle des St. Jacobsglücker Stollens hinab. Sowohl nach Nordwesten als auch nach Südosten ließen sich nirgendwo Fortsetzungen der Vererzung lokalisieren. Weitere edle Erze fanden sich auf verschiedenen flachen Nebentrümern im Hangenden des Hauptganges, oberhalb des St. Johannes Stollen im Bereich des sogenannten Backofens

Ge­o­log­ic and min­er­a­log­i­cal ex­pe­di­tion through Namibia and the Na­maqua­landReport about a geologic - and geology of deposits excursion through central and southern Namibia as well as the Namaqualand bordering to the South and parts of the Northern cape in autumn, 2009., Amongst other localities in Namibia the author visited the tin deposit Uis, the explorations project Namib Lead near Swakopmund, as well as the important mines Rosh Pinah and Scorpion Zinc in the south of Namibia. In the Republic South Africa the trip led to the copper mining region of Okiep as well as the lead zinc mines of Aggeneys and, finally, to the Kalahari manganese ore districts of Postmasburg and Kuruman.

Min­er­al por­trait gar­netThis portrait mainly deals with the 6 classic garnets, their amazing history, the world’s best known classic and modern localities and deposits and their use as a gems or abrasives. It also deals with the common belief related to the non-existence of blue garnets and its refutation proven by new finds. A separate chapter deals with synthetic garnets. But it also deals with the mix up of definitions, groupings and old and unnecessary terms, which have finally been terminated or brought to a common denominator.

In 2012 the IMA (CNMNC) has defined garnets as members of the Garnet Supergroup, which include all minerals isostructural with garnet regardless of what elements occupy the four atomic sites; i.e. the supergroup includes several chemical classes . Those minerals are closely related to each other and may form a series with each other. Some garnets form intermediary minerals between each member, and may even be intergrown within a single crystal.

With the publication of the new nomenclature of the garnet supergroup, the term “garnet group” does not have its meaning anymore and the intermediate working term “Garnet superstructural group” has been replaced by “Garnet Supergroup”.
There are 32 approved species and 5 “candidate” species waiting on approval. The 32 species are subdivided by their Z-charge into 29 species, which belong to 5 groups and to 3 single representative species.
One of those 5 groups is the “Garnet group”, consisting of the 6 former (classic) garnets Pyrope, Grossular, Spessartine, Almandine, Uvarovite and Andradite plus 8 rarer garnets , as Menzerite-(Y), Eringaite, Goldmanite, Momoiite, Knorringite, Calderite, Majorite and Morimotoite.
