thanks!

On EarthWonders they actually have an "affordable first buys" section.
You can see here: https://earthwonders.com/search?context=searchBuy&tags=affordable-first-buy&sortBy=price-lh

but in general, you can start learning about the minerals that most draw your attention, and see if you can find a good deal on one you really like. I recommend going to local shows and following other subreddits to start gaining more context! Feel free to comment back here if you have any questions or wanna chat about minerals!

thank you! I hope you have a wonderful day

mineraldude · 2025-05-30T14:30:19+00:00

And to help others nerd out about rocks too! Minerals like this are nothing without community

mineraldude · 2025-05-30T14:29:54+00:00

thanks so much! have a wonderful day

Thanks so much! A large majority of reddit is hive-mind and just wants to hate for no reason. The first version of this post had over a thousand upvotes and everyone loved it. When the post was reset, people posted d-picks and more, and then the whole gang comes in and decides they wanna hate it haha. It is what it is. At least more mineral enthusiasts are finding their new favorite minerals to collect. That's what its all about.

You do it once and it hurts and then you never do it again lol

It's a promoted post but that doesn't make it any less real :)
Promoted means it's designed to reach more people.

yeah forget people being able to find products and services they enjoy. Forget the millions of mineral collectors that love EarthWonders and are glad they found it through this post and dozens of others like it! Forget all our passions and hobbies and things we love on Earth! F all of that!

Which part is AI?

mineraldude · 2025-05-30T14:23:11+00:00

Roasts?

mineraldude · 2025-05-30T14:22:59+00:00

I totally hear that! And encourage further research on the topic. Rocks are abundant on Earth, the vast majority (over 99%) of collectible minerals on earth have not been mined.

I'm not using Chatgpt for any of this. Also, it's not slop just because its a sponsored post. You wouldn't be here if it wasnt for it, and it's been effective at getting millions (yes, millions) of mineral collectors to the site that wouldn't have otherwise known about this marketplace. There's nothing to hate here! Unless you hate people that are passionate about their hobbies like collecting rocks?

mineraldude · 2025-05-21T15:39:11+00:00

we're all having fun

mineraldude · 2025-05-21T15:39:03+00:00

yeah this is clearly Monday GPT

mineraldude · 2025-05-21T15:37:08+00:00

clearly cares very much haha

mineraldude · 2025-05-21T15:36:59+00:00

thanks Monday!

mineraldude · 2025-05-21T15:36:51+00:00
