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.
 
Geolitho Foundation non-profit GmbH
Geolitho Foundation non-profit GmbH is the non-profit supporter of the Mineral Atlas (Mineralienatlas), the Lithotheque, the Geolitho Collection Management and the Marketplace and Store by collectors for collectors. The Foundation promotes public education in the field of mineralogy, geology, paleontology and mining by operating, maintaining and further expanding earth science projects.

In die so entstandenen Lücken fallen Elektronen aus weiter vom Atomkern entfernt liegenden Elektronenschalen. Die Energiedifferenz zwischen den beiden hierbei beteiligten Elektronenschalen kann als "Charakteristische Röntgenstrahlung" emittiert werden und ist für jedes Element anders (die ebenfalls entstehende Röntgen-Bremsstrahlung interessiert hier nicht, wird aber in den Auswertungen berücksichtigt). Die Auswertung des Röntgenspektrums (Energie-Häufigkeits-Verteilung) erlaubt es, die Elementzusammensetzung einer Probe zu identifizieren und über die Intensität zu quantifizieren. Dazu wird die Röntgenstrahlung hinsichtlich ihrer Energie analysiert und die jeweilige Intensität der Spektrallinien gemessen. Da die Energie der Röntgenstrahlung von der Ordnungszahl der Atome abhängt (Moseley'sches Gesetz), kann anhand der Röntgenspektren auf die ... Ein Beitrag von Berthold Weber und Frank M.

Among the most spectacular finds are the fantastic light blue calcites from the Julia mine in Bilbao, which enraptured collectors' hearts to about the mid-1970s. At about the same time the zinc mine Las Manforas at Aliva supplied excellent, highl lustrous Calcites, often associated with the world's best red Sphalerites. ...

Amonsgt the forms of calcite the pinacoid is unique as it consists of exactly two parallel and oriented perpendicular to the c-axis surfaces. All other Calcite forms have either six or twelve areas. The pinacoid is an open form, with which it can not really include space; so the pinacoid must accompany other forms on the calcite crystal ...

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.
