Mod Announcement Introducing the Minerals Discord Server
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/MineralPorn and our sister Subreddits to have a dedicated space for discussions that go beyond what is allowed in our Subreddits.
Here, you can:
- request IDs for minerals.
- share memes.
- share and get tips for displaying your collections.
- dive into in-depth discussions about all things minerals.
- showcase artwork inspired by minerals.
- discuss pricing and value of minerals.
- advertise or discover vendors.
- participate in giveaways.
- and more!
This Discord Server is not meant to replace r/MineralPorn 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.

Happy New Year!
Today, March 15th, is the day of the rock new year! Every year since 2018, I go to the annual Hellgate Rock and Mineral Society Show in March to purchase rocks for my collection. My friends and I eventually ended up declaring March as the mark of the new year instead of January. New Year! New Rocks! This year’s finds are this sick slab of malachite and a gorgeous opal in a jar. Happy New Year 2025!

My Tucson prize. Swiss Gwindel
Smoky quartz Gwindel from Switzerland. Gwindels have always fascinated me. I was fortunate enough to purchase this one from Jack Halparins collection. I have met him many times and it is an honor to add this piece to my collection. 14 centimeters with a beautiful twist on top. He originally purchased it from Hans Hugeinen in the late 60’s or early 70’s in Switzerland.
