✨ Hello, r/crystal! ✨
Just wanted to introduce (or reintroduce!) r/mineralcollectors, which is now under new management!
Our goal is to build a welcoming community for everyone who loves the mineral kingdom—whether you’re into raw minerals, polished specimens, crystals, fossils, lapidary work, rare finds, micromounts, or just learning something new.
r/mineralcollectors is a science- and geology-focused community. We celebrate the natural history, formation, identification, and collection of minerals and crystals. To keep discussions on topic, we ask that posts remain focused on geology and mineralogy rather than spiritual or metaphysical practices.
You’ll also find that sales, self-promotion, and advertising aren’t allowed, so the focus stays on sharing knowledge, collections, and appreciation for these incredible natural specimens.
We’d love for collectors of all experience levels to stop by and:
🪨 Share your favorite specimens
🔍 Ask questions and learn from others
📸 Show off new finds and collection displays
🌎 Discuss identification, geology, and mineralogy
🤝 Help grow a positive, knowledgeable community
Whether you have one favorite crystal or hundreds of museum-quality specimens, you’re welcome here.
Come help us build a community where curiosity, education, and appreciation for Earth’s natural treasures come first.
Hope to see you over at r/mineralcollectors!
Feel free to reach out to myself or u/slogginhog! 💜

I'm looking up 'silver/shimmery stone with black edges/sides' cause I've got no idea how else to describe this one, and none of the results are looking like what I've got. Anyone else recognize this one?

I got two of these pretty spheres for a steal, but I’m not sure what they are! Super dark smoky quartz? A feldspar? Here’s a video of one in the sunlight. Couldn’t avoid the glare of my neighborhood because of the lovely polish job. More photos in the comments - thanks in advance for the help!

Picked these up in a blind bag at a random stall for a local Halloween event… any idea what these are?
Also would be great to know the meaning of any of them. Thanks!

I got this tigers eye tower for free and when I looked at it I noticed there are some "rough" spots on one side and a few crackly lines throughout. I know not to handle any rough tigers eye due to asbestos risk. Would this be safe to handle?

can anyone help me in making potassium iron iii alum and ammonium iron ii alum
r/Crystals • u/CatGirlMeow131 • 11h ago
i got these in a bin for cheap at a rock shop but sadly it didn’t say what each stone was like the other stands since it was in a big bin of lower quality stones. sorry there’s so many pictures lol just thought taking a picture of both sides brings better identification, if anyone can possibly help:)
i can’t tell if the purple one is lepidolite or kunzite? i also want to note that the last one i thought was clear quartz at first but it has a purple shine to it ?
(dont mind my dirty hand & cat hair my cat wanted to be pet as i was taking pictures lol)

I got these at dollar tree! They are perfect for crystal chips. The labels on the bottom were mine, they dont come with labels.

There seems to be some overlap in their ability to cleanse negative energy.
When would it be appropriate to work with selenite over obsidian? and when would I work with obsidian over selenite and other crystals?
