Not negligible for this reason, the idea or the concept of a twin crystal are often associated with a macroscopic building. Modern studies at the nano scale have shown that the formation of twins can occur at a very early stage of crystal growing. Based on these findings, it does beg the request to reconsider the formation mechanisms, and adjacency to the newly different categories. (Text in german) |

Nach Überlieferungen haben die "Alten" bei der Suche nach Erzen auf diese Zeichen der Natur geachtet. Gerade bei Antimonerzen ist diese eigene Flora sehr ausgebildet. Antimon weist unter den Elementen eine hohe Mobilität auf und wird, wenn es in löslicher Form vorliegt, von Pflanzen leicht aufgenommen. Die Konzentrationen in Pflanzen können 7-50 mg/kg TS betragen. |

A recent report from Sept. 2012 shows that good finds are still possible. To visit this mine is relatively easy. The evacuation of the gypsum needels on the other hand is more difficult. Unfortunately, vandals have left their mark, but read and see it yourself. A report by Stefan Schorn. (Article in German) |

As already mentioned elsewhere, mining in Ilmenau dates back to the year 1200. In 1216, Count Poppo v. Henneberg was enfeoffed with the Bergregal by Friedrich den II. At that time one had discovered mineralised steep copper slate near Roda and on the Sturmheide. Presumably, individual miners had been enfeoffed, who extracted copper slate and sandstone in accordance with the mining freedom. This is generally regarded as the beginning of the first main period of Ilmenau mining. The ore was mined in small open pits to a maximum depth of 50m. ... A Contribution of {:10697:} |
