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 10586 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

Stone tum­bling - Our ex­pe­ri­encesWe do not thumble stones to get smooth and even things that look like the tumbled stones in the esoteric shops, but to discover the secret of the stone. We have thumbled stones in the spirator for years and have documented our experiences with stones, machinery, abrasives and polishing techniques. Our experience will help you to avoid errors and run approach to the subject.

Chessy-les-MinesUnter den klassischen Fundstellen für Azurit nimmt die Kupfererzlagerstätte Chessy-les-Mines nordwestlich von Lyon eine hohen Stellenwert ein. Diese Azurite sind unter Sammlern als "Chessylith" bekannt. Erst seit einigen Jahren kommen aus China Stufen auf den Sammlermarkt, die an die Stücke aus Chessy in etwa heranreichen. Chessy-Azurite besitzen bei Sammlern einen mindestens ebenso hohen Stellenwert wie Stücke aus Tsumeb, sind aber seltener und, in guter Qualität, unbezahlbar geworden. Funde werden, in bescheidenem Ausmaß, noch in den alten Halden getätigt. Die Größe der heute noch zu findenden Stücke haben in etwa den Durchmesser von Haselnüssen. Die Halden befinden sich in Privatbesitz und die Suche ist auf einen französischen Sammlerkreis begrenzt. Selten tauchen auf Börsen kleinere Stücke auf und Besitzer von Chessylithen trennen sich ...

Al­ten­berg Tin MineThe Altenberg tin mine is well known for its huge surface break left by the mining activities. Among mineral collectors the mine is famous as well for its unique Pycnite deposit, a variety of topaz occurring in massive columnar aggregates up to a length of 30 cm.

The mining started in 1440 and continued, with several ups and downs and some total shut-down periods, until 1991. The mining activities aimed for a plutonic granite body (350 to 400 metre in diameter and hydrothermally mineralized mainly with cassiterite and smaller amounts of wolframite, molybdenite, arsenopyrite, bismuth and others) and managed to extract a total sum of 37 million tons of ore. The huge surface break, called "The Altenberger Pinge", is the result of several roof collapses caused by excessive ore excavation and later on the continued drawing of caved material from the bottom of the fracture zone.

Collectible minerals were rare and small, so the Altenberg tin mine became never as famous as the Freiberg or Ehrenfriedersdorf districts, but its unique geology and mining technology made it quite interesting and worth a closer look.

In­clu­sionsInclusions are inside the crystal enclosed foreign materials like liquids, gases, hydrocarbons (oil, asphalt), sediment, NaCl, as well as other minerals or crystals. Inclusions can be a sort of fingerprint of the place of dicovery. Thus inclusions show us under which geologic conditions minerals had formed. This allows conclusions on the place of discovery.

The article deals with the different kinds of inclusions, her conditions of build, which minerals do often have inclusions and how they appear.

Mag­ne­sitw­erk - Hoch­filzen1908 Entdeckung der Magnesitlagerstätte auf der Millstätter Alpe in Kärnten durch den Bergbauingenieur Josef Hörhager. Der Deutsch-Amerikaner Emil Winter erwirbt die Schürfrechte und gründet die Austro-American Magnesite Group, die in Radenthein mit der Errichtung eines beachtlichen Magnesitwerkes begann.
1925 wurden die Magnesit-Lagerstätten am Weißenstein und der Rettenwand bei Hochfilzen in Tirol entdeckt.
1928 sicherte sich die Austro-American Magnesite Group die Abbaurechte dafür und fusionierte mit der Allgemeinen Automobil G.m.b.H. in Wien zur Austro-American Magnesite Company. Im gleichen Jahr wurde mit dem Abbau im Untertagebetrieb begonnen.
bis circa 1930 konnte man von einem österreichischen Magnesit Monopol sprechen... Ein Beitrag von Michael Kommer

"Ober­fränkisch­es Re­vi­er" a min­ing por­traitThe mining in the Franconian Forest has produced a lot of pits in the area and counts to the oldest mining areas in Germany. Indeed, one searches in the World Wide web in vain according to the information of which are documented by photos or maps.
