Minerals
Minerals are found items which can be turned into the museum for display. Most minerals are found by having Clint break open Geodes that can be found from breaking stones or while mining.
Many can also be found in unique mining nodes specific to levels of The Mines or Skull Cavern. Many of these nodes can also be found at the quarry. A number of minerals can be foraged or can drop from monsters as well.
After being donated the tooltip display will be revealed, minerals that say "Gunther can tell you more..." have yet to be donated. After donating once minerals cannot be donated again, but can be sold or used in some bundles and crafting recipes.
