Nach Überlieferungen haben die "Alten" bei der Suche nach Erzen auf diese Zeichen der Natur geachtet. Gerade bei Antimonerzen ist diese eigene Flora sehr ausgebildet. Antimon weist unter den Elementen eine hohe Mobilität auf und wird, wenn es in löslicher Form vorliegt, von Pflanzen leicht aufgenommen. Die Konzentrationen in Pflanzen können 7-50 mg/kg TS betragen. |

The mineral calcite, however, differs from Aragonite due to its internal crystal structure. While the crystal system of calcite is trigonal, the system of aragonite is rhombic. Dense masses of small aragonite crystals are difficult to distinguish from calcite, but they are larger, they show a distinct habit. A lot of chapters in this portrait will give you much more details about this interesting mineral. Written and investigated by Peter Seroka. (Article in german) |
| Olivine is not a separate mineral, but a member belonging to the forsterite-fayalite mixing series. Olivine belongs to the olivin-groupe whose end-members are calcio-olivine and tephroite.

Olivine belongs to the olivin-groupe whose end-members are calcio-olivine and tephroite. Forsterite is a magnesium silicate; fayalite an iron silicate. If commonly is spoken of olivine, it is usually a more or less iron-rich forsterite. The color of olivine is generally yellowish green, olive green to black. You will find much more interesting details in our portrait about this common mineral series. Written and investigated by Peter Seroka. (Article in german) |
