Pyrite
- Reason
- Yes, it is more silvery than gold. These are fairly large crystals. I'm told that the sample is worth about $AUD500. The surface was highly reflective, hence the near white section.

- Weak support The mineral itself looks great, the EV is high and the overexposed face isn't a problem. However, the background is very blah, and the shadow to the bottom left is a bit distracting - is it possible to whitewash the whole background to be uniform? Maybe that would look better. Also, I think a much tighter crop would be better.

- Annoyingly the reflective faces on the pyrite are causing the uneven background. I could probably make it a uniform grey, which would contrast better than white with the reflective faces. Noodle snacks ( talk) 02:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- Support - This is really a beauty. I am not so concerned with the background of the image, I don't think it is too important in this case. Actually, a coin placed for scale would be nice. Milen ( talk) 06:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

this emerald, but this one looks great, too. If we go for a geology/mineral image, I don't think that we need to bother with nominating another one.

- The emerald probably wouldn't pass for image quality reasons. No reason why there can't be many mineral images. Noodle snacks ( talk) 09:54, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
- Nice but please do something to the background such that the right side of the mineral does not blend into the background. Nergaal ( talk) 04:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
