I was looking around for freely-usable pictures of obscure gems and such, so that people could at least look at the gems they find instead of wondering what the hell peridot is. Provided it's kept short & separate, isn't there a place for stuff like this? That way, people can learn things without confusing the information with in-game stuff and they won't have to think of everything as "just another rock."

| − | : We have a lot of existing images already on the wiki. I don't think there's any way for those to be confused with game data and they probably answer the most likely questions people will have about any given stone (i.e. "what the hell is orthoclase?") a lot better than most other types of IRL information would, so I'm going to try and link those orphaned images back to the current articles. | + | : We have a lot of existing images already on the wiki.

A little late to the party here, but maybe the minecraft wiki could be used as an example here. Maybe not pictures, just a short description of what the real world thing looks like, and it's uses, possibly under a trivia section?
