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 10530 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Ti­tanit ist ein Min­er­al, welch­es man in Vorkom­men un­ter­schiedlich­er Ge­nese an­trifft. In Granit­peg­matiten kön­nen Kris­talle bis 25 cm groß wer­den; in Al­ka­ligestei­nen bis zu 6 cm.

Kristalle von erstklassiger Qualität (relativ auch Edelsteinqualität) findet man jedoch nur in alpinotypen Klüften. Erstmals gefunden wurde Titanit 1795 in den Hauzenberger Graphitgruben im Bayerischen Wald und beschrieben durch Martin Heinrich KLAPROTH, der das Mineral nach seinem Gehalt an Titan benannte. Soweit nachvollziehbar, führte KLAPROTH die Erz-Analysen im Auftrag eines Bergbauunternehmens durch.

Although visitor numbers appeared slightly lower than last year, the fair remained vibrant and diverse. Highlights included the collector displays and the special exhibition on natural resources, while the fossil section was somewhat smaller.
Some visitors expressed a wish for more seating areas, opportunities for exchange, and more eye-catching advertising, yet overall the event left a very positive impression and remains a must-visit for collectors and families alike.

„Was soll nur aus mein­er Mi­cro­mount-Samm­lung wer­den, wenn ich selbst ein­mal nicht mehr sam­meln kann?

Sie enthält doch Stücke von einmaliger Ästhetik, von längst erloschenen Fundstellen oder größter Seltenheit. Das alles droht unterzugehen, weil nach mir niemand den Wert erkennt, der in den zunächst unscheinbar wirkenden Döschen steckt.“ Dieser Gedanke wird bei vielen Sammlern von Micromounts diskutiert. Dabei wird die oben genannte Befürchtung immer wieder geäußert. Weniger häufig wird eine andere Frage offen angesprochen, die aber dennoch viele Sammler bewegt: „Soll meine Sammlerleistung, ein wichtiger Teil meines Lebens, gänzlich in Vergessenheit geraten?“

The Alps are the high­est and most ex­ten­sive moun­tain range sys­tem that lies en­tire­ly in Eu­rope, stretch­ing ap­prox­i­mate­ly 1,200 km across eight Alpine coun­tries from Aus­tria and Slove­nia in the east, Switz­er­land, Liecht­en­stein, Ger­many, and France to the west, and Ita­ly and Mo­na­co to the south. The ... moreThe Alps are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately 1,200 km across eight Alpine countries from Austria and Slovenia in the east, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, and France to the west, and Italy and Monaco to the south. The Caucasus Mountains are higher, and the Urals longer, but both lie partly in Asia. The Alps were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at 4,810 m is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains about a hundred peaks higher than 4,000 m known as the "four-thousanders".
