The article looks good. Its content meets DYK requirements and there are no copyright or other policy issues. All the images are free and appropriately licensed, and I agree that one of these images would look very cool on the main page. I have a few comments about the hook itself, though:

@ Jo-Jo Eumerus: I just wanted to enquire about the naming of this article. As far as I can tell, it covers a broader range of concepts than the title suggests, including:
This being the case, should we consider broadening the title, say to Desublimation minerals or some other title to be agreed, or is the current title actually the accepted WP:COMMONNAME in reliable sources for all the usages above, and hence it's correct to stay as it is?

Fumarole minerals are minerals that are deposited by fumarole exhalations. They form when gases and compounds desublimate or precipitate out of condensates, forming mineral deposits. They are mostly associated with volcanoes (as volcanic sublimate or fumarolic sublimate), following deposition from volcanic gas during an eruption or discharge from a volcanic vent or fumarole, but have been encountered on burning coal deposits as well. They can be black or multicoloured and are often unstable upon exposure to the atmosphere. This fumarole formation, formed of acicular crystals of tazieffite (black), was photographed at Mutnovsky, a volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. Photograph credit: Ppm61

Fumarole minerals are minerals that are deposited by fumarole exhalations. They form when gases and compounds desublimate or precipitate out of condensates, forming mineral deposits. They are mostly associated with volcanoes (as volcanic sublimate or fumarolic sublimate), following deposition from volcanic gas during an eruption or discharge from a volcanic vent or fumarole, but have been encountered on burning coal deposits as well. They can be black or multicoloured and are often unstable upon exposure to the atmosphere. This natural-color photomicrograph of fumarole minerals from Mutnovsky, a volcano on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, was taken using a scanning electron microscope. Yellow and red crystals of thallium(I) iodide are visible, with a gradual transition between the two polymorphs. The crystals are located on a substrate of altered rock. This image is 700 micrometres (0.028 in) across on the long side. Photograph credit: Mikhail Zelensky
