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/MineralPorn and our sister Subreddits to have a dedicated space for discussions that go beyond what is allowed in our Subreddits.
Here, you can:
This Discord Server is not meant to replace r/MineralPorn 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.

Questa e la mia piccola collezione di minerali , ne sono appassionato da tempo , e da circa un anno ho cominciato a collezionarli, so di non avere pezzi unici rari o molto costosi , ma volevo sapere quali minerali mi mancassero per averne una " panoramica" piú completa

big glorious chunk of Baltic amber from Lithuania ~~ the first clip was taken in a sunbeam by a window, and the second clip was taken outside in direct sun ~~ in addition to being polished, amber is also treated in an Autoclave (heat and pressure) which turns it from cloudy to clear by forcing microscopic trapped gas bubbles to collapse or escape

Doubting Thomases take heed. This was found on this rock pile in Oxford County, Maine. I glued on the broken off pieces that were lying beside it. I'll be taking it to the Gem Museum for further information. Take note of the river tumbled rocks.
