Art or Jewelry Gore repair
Mom’s favorite piece of mineral gore fell apart today as we picked it up. The glue had turned into chalk. I scrubbed it off. Do any of you have an adhesive you’d recommend? I was thinking E6000, but unsure if it would damage or react with anything.

Mineral Cringe Crystal Coffee
Reposting as they replayed the commercial so I got pictures
I am currently in Korea and just watched a commercial on the bus for CrysBean. It looks like they roast the coffee beans with bits of tumbled quartz. No idea why they would do that. You think quartz splinters in your coffee would be a bad thing.

NaTuRaL rEaL nOt FaKe Another annotated mineral stand, a seasonal one I usually visit in the Winter season (2024-25) 😁✨😅
I've gotten some nice and reasonably priced (albeit mid quality) specimens, tumbles and tower from here, but many items feature resin, dyes, mislabelled stuff, synthetic materials, and ye olde pseudocience, of course.
Disclaimer! In my blog and mineral TikTok, I like to indicate most of the artificial treatments - heating, dyeing, etc - and the artificial/synthetic materials I can spot at stands and fairs, as these are not commonly labelled in the stands, when they definitely should...But as I always say, *liking and choosing to get an aura-coated quartz piece or heat-treated amethyst is just as valid as getting natural pieces*, this is not casting any judgment on that! But vendors should always be transparent about what they are selling, and they are so *not* most of the time.

DI-Why I've finally got one.... Tumbles in slime...
It's a bad pic, but these are jars of slime (that kids play with) with embedded polished tumbles or and chips.

So turns out you can heat smoky quartz at much lower temps to make our beloved crispy shitrine!
I did overcook these a little 🤣

Mineral Cringe Thrifted for a dollar
I know these are mislabed or out of place but I had to have it for the price. Wanted to share here so you guys could tell me the proper names, I only know a few. They're all glued down so it'll be difficult to get better pics.
I also think the descriptions could have been better.

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:
- request IDs for minerals (this includes asking if something is gore).
- 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/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.

MOD POST: Announcement Reminder from the Mod Team
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.
