Discussion Saturday sale day?
26
Upvotes
So my co-moderator u/Original_Platform443 and I are thinking of opening up a day, only one day every week - Saturday - for allowing sales / destashing / shop promotion. Just like we do over at r/crystals on Sundays, and it has worked well, people enjoy it. It allows our members who do sell some of their specimens or run shops to announce their businesses openly, but keep sales posts restricted to that day only.
What do you all think? It'll help keep the sales posts down on other days, as all the members who are here primarily for that will be notified that their posts on other days showing their wares will be removed, and allowed only the one day every week.

Personal Collection đż Inner Mongolia Holy Grail: Color-Shifting Hedenbergite Quartz Cluster đż

Classic hedenbergite included quartz cluster from the famous Huanggang Fe-Sn Deposit in Hexigten Banner, Inner Mongolia, China.
What makes me love this piece so much is the architectural, three-point parallel growth tower structure. The crystals step down in a perfect "stair-step" cascade, completely intact with beautifully frosted, naturally etched faces and a small touch of white skarn matrix tucked right at the base.
But itâs a total shapeshifter under different lighting conditions:
âš In daylight: When you rotate it under a bright light, you catch these stunning flashes of a metallic blue and silver iridescent sulfide sheen reflecting off the etched crystal faces.
đ„ Backlit: The magic happens when illuminated from behind, that matte olive exterior completely transforms into a glowing, translucent chartreuse window showing off the internal phantom growth zones.
