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 10531 members. Every month hundreds of thousands of visitors use our website as an information source.

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.

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. Fors­terite is a mag­ne­si­um sil­i­cate; fay­alite an iron sil­i­cate. If com­mon­ly is spo­ken of olivine, it is usu­al­ly ... moreOlivine 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. 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.

At the site Palioka­mariza Mine No. 18 (Pla­ka, Lavri­on, At­ti­ca, Greece), yel­low, nee­dle-like ura­ni­um min­er­als were ob­served grow­ing on gyp­sum. Un­der UV light (365 nm), two dist­inct flu­o­res­cence col­ors ap­peared: short­er, thin­n­er nee­dles glowed bright green, while longer, well-formed nee­dles glowed yel ... moreAt the site Paliokamariza Mine No. 18 (Plaka, Lavrion, Attica, Greece), yellow, needle-like uranium minerals were observed growing on gypsum. Under UV light (365 nm), two distinct fluorescence colors appeared: shorter, thinner needles glowed bright green, while longer, well-formed needles glowed yellow...

This study illustrates a notable epitaxial relationship between Boltwoodite (green luminescent) and Sklodowskite (yellow luminescent) on a gypsum matrix, discovered at Lavrion, Greece. Luminescent differentiation under UV, combined with spectroscopic and EDX analyses, revealed the intergrowth of the two uranium silicates—providing insight into their growth and crystallization behavior
