Comment – Seems rather obscure – our article notes that "pure endmembers ... are seldom if ever seen in nature." Target article totals only 280 words. – Sca (talk) 14:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say that's not a problem; we've promoted plenty of obscure things. I think the big problem is that there's no caption in the article. When multiple things exist in an image, it's rather important for the article to be clear on which one is the subject. File:Quartz-Tetrahedrite-denv08-50b.jpg may be clearer for this.

I added a caption in the article. The mimetite is micro (i.e. small) and seems to be distributed. The color of each mineral is listed in its corresponding article's infobox: [1][2][3]. As far as "multiple things exist", and User:Geni's concern below, the article says "pure endmembers of the series are seldom if ever seen in nature", so that's a feature of this mineral, not a defect or bug.

About obscurity: The article does not say this mineral is rare, it says its "pure" form is rare. This mineral is not rare per [4][5]. Bammesk (talk) 03:13, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
comment Assuming the Tetrahedrite is the black stuff it may not be the best illustration although all the images in the article seem to show it alongside something else.©Geni (talk) 22:48, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
