If you want to show off or ask questions about multiple specimens - or show more than one photo of the same specimen, PLEASE LEARN TO USE IMGUR's app or go to and create an album / gallery. PLEASE DON'T MAKE MULTIPLE POSTS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. If you post photos that you didn't take yourself, PLEASE CREDIT THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHER even if it means spending a couple of minutes on Google Images finding the original source. Also provide any additional information that may be pertinent such as where it was found, hardness, results of a streak test, weight, etc.
If you're posting an ID request, please take clear, well-lit, up-close shots that will allow for proper identification. Some minerals are used in the production of legitimate medicines, but that is science and not magic.
NO METAPHYSICAL BULLSHIT posts about the magical healing powers of crystals, etc. PLEASE REPORT SUCH POSTS if you see them. NO OFFERS TO BUY OR SELL in posts or comments, NO SELF-PROMOTION for commercial projects, or personal blogs, Instagram or Tumblr accounts, other social media, personal websites, YouTube channels, etc.
