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...

Min­er­alien­por­trait Eisen .... "Aus den Eisengruben kommt das für den Waffenträger exzellenteste und das perverseste Geschenk. Wir pflügen mit diesem Geschenk die Erde, wir pflanzen die Sträucher, wir bearbeiten die Böden der Felder, wir bauen mit dieser Waffe Häuser, zerklopfen Steine und verwenden das Eisen auf vielfache Weise. Doch mit dem gleichen Geschenk streiten wir, führen wir Kriege und plündern; wir verwenden es nicht nur aus der Nähe, sondern lassen es über weite Strecken fliegen, aus Schießscharten, mit kräftigen Händen, als gefiederte Pfeile. Nach meiner Meinung ist das Eisen das sittenloseste Ding, welches dem menschlichen Geist entsprang. Und damit der Tod noch schneller eintritt, gaben wir ihm eiserne Flügel. Aus all diesen Gründen trägt der Mensch die Schuld und nicht die Natur." - Ein Mineralienportrait geschrieben von Peter Seroka

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.

Bryce Cany­on Na­tio­n­al ParkEmerged as a product of erosion from water, frost and wind which has shaped the spectacular pillars (hoodoos) the Bryce Canyon National Park is one of the most spectacular natural amphitheater. The eroded Claron limestone in which also fossils are found, leaves the impression of a subtle army from limestone warriors. Named after the Mormon Pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, the natural spectacle was 1928 declared as national park.

Sym­me­trieele­menteBetrachtet man die Struktur von Kristallen, erkennt mam meistens verschiedene Arten von Symmetrien, wie Translationen, Spiegelungen oder Drehsymmetrien. Der Grund für das Auftreten dieser Symmetrien liegt darin, daß bestimmte Atomanordnungen in der Struktur besonders stabil sind; eine hohe Symmetrie erlaubt dann die ständige Wiederholung dieser besonders stabilen Konfigurationen in der Struktur.

Die Beschäftigung mit der Symmetrie von Kristallen in der Kristallographie ist aus mehreren Gründen besonders wichtig - Ein Beitrag von Erik Hock

Min­er­alien­por­trait Ze­olitheNatürliche Zeolithe sind Gerüst-Aluminosilikate der Alkali- und Erdalkalimetalle, besonders Ca, Na und K. Weniger häufig sind Zeolithe, welche Ba, Sr, Cs, Li und Mg enthalten. Bis heute sind 97 natürliche Spezies bekannt, darunter die wichtigsten Klinoptilolith, Chabasit, Phillipsit, Mordenit, Laumontit, Stilbit, Heulandit, Analcim, Natrolith und Thomsonit. Charakteristisch für alle Zeolithe ist ihre dreidimensionale Aluminosilikat-Struktur mit variablen polyedrischen Gruppen, deren Struktur mit Wasser gefüllte relativ große Kanäle und Hohlräume zwischen diesen Polyedern enthält. Diese Hohlräume und Kanäle können Kationen (z.B. Metall-Ionen), Wasser und andere Moleküle enthalten, welche den Zeolithe ihre wichtigsten Eigenschaften als Molekularsiebe, Katalysatoren, Ionenaustauscher etc. verleihen.
