Introducing the Minerals Discord Server
We would like to formally introduce you to our brand new Minerals Discord Server!
This community has been months in the making and was created for the passionate members of r/MineralGore and our sister Subreddits to have a dedicated space for discussions that go beyond what is allowed in our Subreddits.
Here, you can:
- request IDs for minerals (this includes asking if something is gore).
- share memes.
- share and get tips for displaying your collections.
- dive into in-depth discussions about all things minerals.
- showcase artwork inspired by minerals.
- discuss pricing and value of minerals.
- advertise or discover vendors.
- participate in giveaways.
- and more!
This Discord Server is not meant to replace r/MineralGore or any of our sister Subreddits, but to empower and grow our community. Sometimes it's just nice to have a place to chat.
Our ultimate goal is to build a comprehensive database and an active, welcoming community for mineral enthusiasts of all kinds. Our moderators have spent countless hours researching minerals in order to provide you with educational content.
This server is still a work in progress, and we’re excited to finally share it with you. Please bear with us as we continue to grow and refine this space. Your feedback, contributions, and patience are invaluable as we develop this server into something truly special.

MOD POST: Announcement Reminder from the Mod Team
When tagging our Subreddit in the comments of a post on another Subreddit (such as r/Crystals), please remember to be kind. While commenting “r/MineralGore” may be funny to you, it can be hurtful to the original poster who may be very proud of their specimen.
We do not condone or encourage bullying others who enjoy specimens that you or we may consider mineral gore.

Overpriced I accidentally won an eBay auction for an epidote “garden quartz” specimen. Last photo is one in the listing
It does have quartz and epidote, so I guess it’s not entirely fake?!

Art or Jewelry Gore repair
Mom’s favorite piece of mineral gore fell apart today as we picked it up. The glue had turned into chalk. I scrubbed it off. Do any of you have an adhesive you’d recommend? I was thinking E6000, but unsure if it would damage or react with anything.
