EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Mineralogie" and hailing from Dr. Adolph Kenngott's Mineralogy section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History publication, showcases an exquisite collection of minerals, each with its unique and captivating characteristics. The image, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886, is a testament to the scientific curiosity and artistic prowess of the late 19th century. The minerals depicted in this print include: 1. Cuprite: The vibrant red crystals in the upper left corner are cuprite, a copper oxide mineral known for its distinctive red hue. 2. Azurite: The bright blue crystals on the right side are azurite, a copper carbonate mineral that forms in the oxidized zones of copper deposits. 3. Malachite: The green crystals, most notably the large one in the center, are malachite, a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral known for its banded, green-blue appearance. 4. Lunnite: The dark blue mineral in the lower left corner is lunnite, a copper carbonate hydroxide. 5. Libethenite: The yellow mineral in the lower right corner is libethenite, a copper silicate. 6. Euchroite: The green mineral in the upper right corner is euchroite, a copper silicate. 7. Dioptase: The green mineral in the center, below the malachite crystal, is dioptase, a calcium manganese silicate. 8. Chalcophanite: The white mineral in the center, above the malachite crystal, is chalcophanite, a copper antimonate. This historical print not only serves as a beautiful representation of these minerals but also as a window into the past, showcasing the scientific advancements and artistic achievements of the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this chromolithograph continue to inspire and captivate viewers, making it a valuable addition to any collection of mineralogical or historical prints.
