(even doe 'p is antimatter^{albeit antimatter didn't exist at the time})

The mineral rating system is a secretly coded system in which things are classified as gems, coal, or one of dozens of related terms. To outsiders with no knowledge of soylore, these appear to be innocuous terms that simply describe the quality of something. However, each rating category is based on deep philosophical and sociological thought and study that only the smartest members of civilization can comprehend.

It should be noted that the average human brain can intuitively distinguish between only two degrees of positive or negative emotional intensity. This is the reason why the most popular rating system is composed of only five core ratings (brimstone, coal, iron, gem, gemerald). Past this point, the question of what category a post’s quality should fit into becomes increasingly subjective, eventually reaching a state where nobody can confidently decide or reach a consensus on an exact rating.

Following the Gradingcaust, most of the ratings on this page aside from the main ratings, which are still used in common soyspeak (excluding party-saving gem and party-killing coal) have lost most relevance as their main usage was wiki-based. While some secondary ratings, such as Topaz, Tanzanite, and Dust, still remain, do keep in mind while scrolling this page as most of the secondary ratings do not have much usage anymore and that you will probably look like an autist if you try too hard to use them in your day-to-day soypseak.

History

To be researched: The first utterances of "gem" and "coal" in relation to a soyjak post. Can (You) help us?

The first rating to emerge was gem. Gem was initially in the form of the phrase "bumping this gem" which has been a somewhat common way to bump a post in 4chan since at least 2011. The Soymmunity on /int/ first began frequently using "bumping this gem" under soyjak threads on July-August 2020 mostly thanks to two anons, one American and one Brazilian. A famous thread on /qa/ by soot advertising "a shitty imageboard" in which "basedjaks must be in every thread" was also bumped this way on September 2020, and before the end of that year, gem became the standard way to denote or describe a high-quality soyjak.

It is unknown whether coal first started gaining prominence on the very early 'arty itself or on /qa/, but the first verifiable instances of coal being posted as an antonym to gem are in the form of "saging this absolute coal" on October 2020. Coal fully acquired its modern standalone form and meaning in 2021.

Main ratings

These are the most commonly used ratings, ordered from gemmiest to coaliest:

• The gem that saved the Party – Describes gemeralds with extraordinary qualities. Usually describes great winraids and successful community projects.
• Gemerald – Displaying the most exemplary qualities. It will likely make history. Typically refers to a video or adventure thread.
• Gem - Good quality and memorable.
• Ruby – An unrefined gem that needs some polishing.
• Iron – Used to refer to things neutrally; basically used the same as carbon.
• Coal – Used for otherwise bad or poorly made raisin. Coal still has SOVL and a few redeeming qualities nevertheless. Your first soyjak edit fits into this classification. Some soyjaks are deserving of this title, such as all the irrelevant SoyBooru countrywar edits, slopjaks, etc.
• Vantablack – Dustier than coal, has light-absorbing properties which gives it a dark appearance. Some forced memes and forced variants fall under this category. All the false poopsons and banned variants fall under this category due to even the jannies hating them.
• Brimstone– Describes vantablack with sulfuric characteristics. Normally refers to, bad NAS, porn, gore, or troonslop no sane human being enjoys. Despite this, vantablack and brimstone is almost used interchangeably on this wiki so you should take them as equally bad (both of them are shit that should generally be avoided although nowhere near as bad as antimatter).
• Antimatter – Coal of coals, Brimstone of brimstones. The coal that is killing the Party. So potent in its awfulness that it annihilates any regular matter that comes into contact with it.
• The coal that killed the Party – Describes extremely volatile and vile material. Truly horrendous and is usually worse compared to antimatter. Generally refers to anything that could have caused the death of the Party or anything that someone disliked in general. Not to be confused with the SNCA entries on this page.

Secondary ratings ^{[(ev&doe the only true primary ratings are gem and coal)]}

• Supernova – Gem of Gems, Gemeralds of Gemeralds. The gem that will save the Party. So potent that its amazingness annihilates any regular matter that comes in contact with it.
• Tanzanite – A Truthnuke of extremely high magnitude and power. Used only to describe pages.
• Topaz – A topaz is a type of Gem that didn't take its meds. Used to describe well-made schizoposts.
• Vantapurple - Something so meaningless that it passes even most topazes in it's incomprehensibility. Mostly used for incredibly schizophrenic forms of nonsense and 'O.
• Rust – Lower than iron but can become iron with treatment. Kuz used this term a lot.
• Dust - Anemic coal. Has no SOVL or any redeeming qualities and will be lost in the sands of time, as a completely irrelevant post. Accounts for most twitterjaks and neutralplier blogposting threads.
• Singularity – (Antimatter + The coal that killed the Party)⁹⁹⁹. Will kill the soyverse.
• Brimcoal - A troll rating associated with calling out autistic self insert dust on the 'ru.
