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 10457 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Cop­per was one of the first me­t­als ev­er ex­tract­ed and used by hu­mans, and it has made vi­tal con­tri­bu­tions to sus­tain­ing and im­prov­ing so­ci­e­ty since the dawn of civ­i­l­iza­tion.

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

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.

It is part of the so-called Painted Desert and shows with its various layers a strange and impressive scenery. Characterized by erosion, it is a treasure trove of fossils. The rock formations show a chronicle of the past and give clues about the events of bygone days. In the park you can exposure rock strata until 234 million years ago. The colorful desert hills, the flat mesas and shaped hills attributable primarily to Chinle Formation and are fluvial sediments, caused by water movement. Countless fossilized wood and tree trunks bear witness to a scrumptious earlier fauna.

Das waren: Grube Max, Grube Hanns und die Aufschlußgrube Lissenthan. Bedeutet das nicht alle Stufen die den Namen Johannesschacht tragen auch aus dieser Grube stammen. Angebote sollten kritisch hinterfragt werden.
Stufen die auf Halde gefunden wurden oder im über Tage Bereich bekommen als Fundortbezeichnung "Halde der Grube Johannesschacht" oder "über Tage Fund Grube Johannesschacht", u.U. noch mit einem entsprechenden Hinweis.
1929 wird erwähnt, daß bis zu einer Teufe von 28 Meter grobspätiger Stinkspat vorgefunden wurde. Uranmineralien wurden erst ab einer Teufe von 18 m angetroffen.
1931 wurde Stinkspat in Würfeln, Oktaedern, Rhombendodekaedern sowie... Ein Beitrag von Michael Kommer
