Today I visited the special exhibition about minerals from Hesse. Here are some impressions, I will start with some really superb botryoidal rhodochrosites.

(Size information: The labels have a width of 5,5 cm)

Some more stuff, including some galena specimens from Gonderbach Mine which a certain galena crystal form (Gonderbacher Platte / Gonderbach plate) was named after:

Great images, Tobi. Hope there are more to come. I liked the botryoidal Spherosiderite.

Regards,

Don

Great pictures, Tobi!

English speaking members will be interested to know that Doppelspat is Iceland spar, and perhaps generally any transparent colorless calcite; Schönit is picromerite, a hydrated potassium magnesium sulfate; and Eisenkiesel is a red quartz. At least that's what Mindat provides....

Tobi, do you agree with these translations?

I agree with all of them, Pete, thanks for your assistance! Nevertheless I think that the term "Eisenkiesel" is commonly known, even in the non German-speaking area, isn't it ( https://www.mindat.org/min-9250.html )?

Well, I guess I don't know. I can only say that while it was a familiar sounding term, I did not know what its translation was.

Wonderful specimens, and what fun trying to translate the mineral names, just a few that I can't figure out without googling is allphan, lizardit and schulenbergit.

I think translating German mineral names isn't that hard, often there's just an -e missing in the end (analcime/Analcim; pyromorphite/Pyromorphit; rhodochrosite/Rhodochrosit) or another letter is missing (quartz/Quarz). But some are more difficult, several letters are different (galena/Galenit; pectolite/Pektolith; marcasite/Markasit). And then there are some names that are really not easy because they are German words and not typical names ending on -it. Concerning this thread that would be Rauchquarz (= smoky quartz) and Bergkristall (= rock crystal) ... but they are rather easy to identify by the photos ;-) ... But you should read more carefully: Even in German it's "AllOphan", not "allphan" ;-)

It would have been much more difficult if the Museum would have used the old German mining terminology with names such as Bleiglanz, Kupferkies, Kalkspat, Grünbleierz, Gipsspat, Steinsalz, Schwerspat, Zinkblende, Manganspat/Himbeerspat, Schwefelkies/Eisenkies, Kupferlasur, Eisenspat/Brauneisenstein, Bitterspat or Kammkies ... well, ALL of them are on the photos up there, have fun translating them without Google ;-)
