This is obviously not facet grade material, but it is one of my favorite mineral specimens I have.

That's a big chunk! Always been interested in having a go at rose cutting some. Lemmy's image uploading seems to be broken for me right now but I've got some more gems to show!

Pixelfed is the Fediverse version of Instagram and designed for hosting images (and someday will hopefully integrate with Lemmy). You can use them or the imgur host Crylos mentioned for your pics. I look forward to seeing your gems!

Thanks, I'll see what I can do!

Yeah… they have disabled image uploads on a number is instances due to bad actors uploading child porn. If you use one of the mobile apps it uploads the images to Imgur. Found this out for this post here. I’m using Memmy for iOS.

Ugh that's frustrating
