EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Metals" and hailing from Dr. Adolph Kenngott's Mineralogy section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886, showcases an enchanting array of metallic minerals and their crystalline forms. The image transports us back in time to an era of scientific discovery and exploration. At the heart of this intricate composition lies a collection of various metals and their sulfide minerals. Among them, we find sulfur-nickel (nickel pyrites) and nickeline, both displaying their unique crystalline structures against a backdrop of intricate veining. The former, with its golden hue, contrasts beautifully with the deep blue-green of nickeline. Adding to the visual allure are the crystals of chloanthite, with its vibrant green color and distinct prismatic form. The presence of annabergite on chloanthite is also noteworthy, as these two minerals often occur together. Further enhancing the scene are the metallic specimens of cobalt, smaltite, and erythrite, each showcasing their distinct luster and hue. The inclusion of meteor rocks adds an extra layer of intrigue, reminding us of the cosmic origins of some of these precious minerals. This historical chromolithograph, with its meticulous attention to detail and stunning visual representation of various metallic minerals, serves as a testament to the scientific curiosity and advancements of the late 19th century. It continues to captivate our imaginations and inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world around us.
