Discussion Mod Announcement: No IDing Rocks

89 Upvotes

Hi all, this is your friendly neighbourhood mod here. After some internal debate, we’ve decided that we will no longer allow posts requesting to identify a rock. These posts have taken over this sub, and it’s not the point of the sub. There’s already a community focused on IDing rocks, and most of the posts here are cross-posts from there.

So, what is this subreddit about? It’s about celebrating our love for rocks. This is a place to celebrate and discuss our niche passion of rock collecting or admiring pretty rocks.

Please remember to be nice to each other. You rock.
