RULES :

As a recent Geology Graduate, i fear my collection is rather sub-par to what it could be.

I should add, im UK based and not state based!

My question is, where is a good place to be collecting minerals, crystals and such?

Thanks!

One of my favorites from my calcite collection. Forbidden ice cubes!

This damn drawer. Two types in here. Most are ones I like enough to keep but not enough to display. Some are lightly damaged, enough to make them worth much less than I paid but not so damaged they’re not still pretty nice. Anyone else have this problem???

I bought this really cool sand selenite specimen a few days ago, and I’m curious on the best way to display it because it’s is very heavy and a bit unbalanced. It’s about 16 inches long. I don’t have a dedicated display cabinet and most of my collection is stuff I found personally so it’s kind of scattered everywhere. Because this piece is so nice I’d like it to be a standalone display, but I haven’t found much online about displaying things this big. I’m also curious if y’all have any tips on storing it safely in the meantime, it spent a very long time uncovered in an open box with some newspaper poked in around it and I don’t want it to get messed up.

Hello I am new here, I want to know if this is Vanadinite or not? thank you.
