About the Book

Wie entstehen Edelsteine? Wo gibt es sie? Und was können wir von ihnen lernen?

Bei der Bildung von Smaragd, Rubin, Diamant, Topas oder Opal sind die beteiligten Zutaten und Prozesse so vielfältig wie die Edelsteine selbst. Während beispielsweise die Riesenkristalle eines Pegmatits innerhalb von Tagen wachsen, dauert die Entstehung von Amethystgeoden einige Millionen Jahre. Anschaulich erklärt Florian Neukirchen, wie seltene Elemente angereichert werden und wie es zu ungewöhnlichen Begegnungen zwischen Spurenelementen kommt.

Diamanten verdanken wir nicht nur einiges Wissen über den Erdmantel, sondern auch über die Entstehung der ersten Kontinente. Bei ihrer Bildung spielen Redoxreaktionen im Erdmantel eine ähnlich wichtige Rolle wie ungewöhnlich ablaufende Vulkaneruptionen, durch die sie sicher an die Oberfläche gebracht werden, ohne zu verbrennen.

Edelsteine erzählen uns manch erstaunliche Geschichte: Wie eine Kapsel, die geheime Dokumente birgt, enthalten sie Informationen über unzugängliche Regionen der Erde aus einer fernen Vergangenheit und sogar aus der Tiefe des Weltalls: In Meteoriten wurden Diamanten gefunden, die sogar älter als das Sonnensystem sind.

Granate dienen Forschern als eine Art Thermometer, da sie die Bildungstemperatur eines Gesteins anzeigen. Einige Zirkonkristalle sind die einzigen Zeugen aus der höllisch heißen Frühzeit der Erde, aus der keine Gesteine erhalten sind. Die winzigen Kristalle ermöglichen uns sogar Aussagen über das damalige Klima.

Abgerundet wird das Buch mit Informationen über Minen, Märkte und antike Handelsrouten und einem Kapitel über die technische Anwendung und synthetische Herstellung von Edelsteinen.
