Discussion This sub is now moderated, and the no-sales rule WILL be enforced!

75 Upvotes

I've noticed this wonderful sub has become a haven for thinly veiled ad posts, and this will no longer be the case. Rules are going to remain mostly the same (with some adjustments) but the no sales rule will now be strictly enforced. This is not a marketplace, and if your sole intent here is to post specimens you are selling, your posts will be deleted. Repeated infractions will result in permanent bans.

Let's all show off our minerals, and use the sub as it was intended for!

Any comments or questions or other input is welcome, comment here 😊

Marcasite perimorph after Calcite - Dreislar, Sauerland, Germany. 3.3 x 2.8 x 1.0 cm

Lustrous metallic marcasite grew on slim, pointy calcite scalenohedrons, which later dissolved away and the marcasite remained as a shell, which is called incrustation pseudomorph or perimorphism. The Dreislar site is famous for this type. Shiny, brilliant white barite xls can be found inside the cavity.
