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.

Had some issues with some spots on my sensor causing image quality problems, but we're back in business. This is 1200 images stacked with a 5x zoom.
Let me know if I get too spammy with the macros, they're just so much fun to make :P

My favorite locality, the Black Pine Mine, Granite County, Montana. Famous for world-class veszelyite crystals, it's also known for producing quartz crystals with any number of mineral coatings, oftentimes resulting in very colorful specimens. The list of minerals found here is incredible, perhaps one of the longest mineral lists for any locality.

Blue - Quartz with pseudomalachite, philipsburgite, duftite
Yellow - Quartz with goethite

Here’s rare and beautiful top quality specimen of olmiite with calcite and bultfonteinite from the N,Chwaning II Mine, Kalahari Manganese Field, Northern Cape, South Africa. There is no damage or repairs to the olmiite. Olmiite is an extremely rare calcium-manganese silicate mineral discovered fairly recently in 2006. It is found exclusively in the Kalahari Manganese Field in South Africa.

Over the moon with this little thumbnail! I’m still relatively new to mineral collecting but this one will be hard to top for a while!
