I've been creating a couple of entertaining topics on Mindat, and I thought you might enjoy these too (as I see no point in duplicating those threads here, I'll just share the links):

And here's another fun mindat article (by Jolyon Ralph):
Rocks and minerals of the video game Minecraft

Minecraft is a sandbox construction game which involves mining for resources, such as ore and stone, before building anything. |

Here's the jazz & funk vinyl album "Out on the faultline" by the band The New Mastersounds, which cover is illustrated with a geological section inspired drawing:
The New Mastersounds - Yo momma

Let's keep going with the funk/rock vinyl album "Live underground" by the band Lotus, which cover is illustrated with a beautiful drawing of a giant crystal inside a cave:
Lotus - Spaghetti

Here's some heavy rock from the vinyl album "First Wave" by the band Green Orbit, which cover is illustrated with a really nice drawing of an astronaut manipulating crystals:
Green Orbit - Reaktor
https://greenorbit.bandcamp.com/track/reaktor
And rock from the mid-eighties, with the vinyl single "Barbarism Begins At Home / Shakespeare's Sister" by the band The Smiths, which cover shows the pit head of Castelford's coal mine (england):
The Smiths - Barbarism begins at home

Then here's some good hip-hop with beautiful instrumentals, the vinyl album "Grotto" by Wilma Vritra, which features some really nice cover art (a cartoonish drawing of a little red train passing through a cave full of blue concretions). Let's note that the official video for the song "One under" (to be found on youtube) also happens to take place inside a cave:
Wilma Vritra - One under
https://wilmavritra.bandcamp.com/track/one-under
Another great find, as an unusual blend of jazz/funk/soul, electro, and world music influences from the vinyl album "Livingstone" by the band Jungle By Night, with a nice cover showing cubic pyrite crystals:
Jungle by night - Pompette
