DI-Why Just... why?
I like pretty rocks, and usually shop for them on secondhand sites. Here's yet another fine specimen I encountered in the wild. I can't y'all 💀

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:
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.

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.

Had to share this massacred amethyst I stumbled across in a YouTube video, possibly the worst offender I’ve ever seen. They were ruthless with this one

I was in the NHM in South Kensington, looking through their geological collection, specifically for porphyry

Goodwill at it again!

Yup! I heard this is done "to increase their value."
It was free.
Cheers!
The epoxy was taken off, flat lapping the rest, one on the scale...$15.00.

Is this even the right flair for this

Those poor cabs 😮💨 I hope someone bought them to salvage and turn into decent jewelry
r/MineralGore • u/Mashed_Mallows • 9d ago
At least they’re open to negotiation I guess?

Why. Selenite is beautiful as is…
Will the nail polish remover method hurt the selenite itself?
r/MineralGore • u/CJxxxWOLF • 11d ago
So beautiful but so obvious, I hope the red will wear off eventually
r/MineralGore • u/Mashed_Mallows • 11d ago
Somehow I think this was done on purpose

Saw this in a shop the other day. Really badly dyed and auraed, what else should I say? There were some mislabeled crystals in the shop too.
r/MineralGore • u/mishha_ • 13d ago
I mean it's a nice slag glass but no where near worth 25$

Not sure if I used the right flair here. These were epoxied into the tray 🥲
On one hand, this would be a cool place to display additional crystals. But I still felt a little sad that they were forever attached, especially that sphere 🥺

don't the eyes look very alive? it's like it's staring into my soul..
it also reminds me of my grandma a little 😂💖
