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 10449 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

De­posits are one of the most im­por­tant top­ics in ge­ol­o­gy. Peter Sero­ka has ad­dressed the is­sue in sev­er­al years of work and has writ­ten an up-to-date ge­o­log­i­cal sum­mary. He ded­i­cat­ed his work to the 15 th an­niver­sary of Min­er­alie­nat­las.

Peter Seroka has addressed the issue in several years of work and has written an up-to-date geological summary. He dedicated his work to the 15 th anniversary of Mineralienatlas. The work gives detailed information regarding the origin of deposits, the different types of deposits and their classification. Examples of economically important deposits complete the chapters. Provided that this comprehensive work would be printed it would be a volume of over 400 pages; here it is provided in its entirety, online. Thanks to Peter Seroka. (written in german language).

Best specimen are known from Freiberg, Clausthal, Dornbach and Pribram adorned the former Minerals cabinets of Johann Richter, Karl Pabst von Ohain, Christian Ludwig Stieglitz, Caroline Louise of Baden, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Abraham Gottlob Werner, Ignaz von Born, Sigmund Zois and other prominent collectors of the 18th to early 19th century. The first chemical analysis undertook M. H. Klaproth in 1784; the name Pyromorphit, from the Greek "pyro" for fire and "Morpho" for form, was of J.F.L. Hausmann 1813 awarded. The reason for this peculiar ... An article by Peter Seroka in german language

Dieses bedeutet trügerisch, weil aus der zusammen mit Bleiglanz gefundenen Zinkblende kein Blei gewonnen werden konnte und das Element Zink noch nicht entdeckt war. Blende war die Bergmannsbezeichnung für taubes Erz. Sphalerit ist das wichtigste Zinkerz, aus welchem neben dem Metall Zink auch Cadmium, Indium und ....

Sphalerit gehört zum kubischen Kristallsystem und zur hexakistetraedrischen Klasse. Die Struktur der Kristalle ist ähnlich der Diamantstruktur, wobei, anders als bei Diamant, um jedes S-Ion an den Tetraederecken vier Zinkionen angeordnet sind. Im Gegensatz zu Diamant verläuft die Spaltbarkeit in den Sphaleritkristallen nicht nach den Flächen des Oktaeders, sondern nach den Flächen des Rhombendodekaeders {110}, da diese Gitterebenen gleichviel Zn- und ...
