In tandem with my Beautiful Pristine Metallic List, I'd just like to share exactly why this is so far the closest system to fit my ideal list, check out the screenshots:

I mine around a tinder, Eta Aquarii 5, which is my dream. So relaxing and awe inspiring picturing all the ash and volcanos and lava and the future possibility of it turning into an ELW far in the future (unlikely in this case). It also has an INCREDIBLE sky to admire while working:

On the right, you can see its binary partner, Eta Aquarii 4, which is a huge gas giant with pristine metallic rings. Makes a great place to switch if I need a change up. And it provides an important landmark to make sure I don't double back the way I came. And it's just GORGEOUS.
Also note behind it, you see something else with a ring system. Well that's Eta Aquarii 8, a class Y dwarf star ~4000ls away. HUGE rings. I mean, what a sky!
Not to mention the stunning blue giant, which creates a perfect atmosphere while mining. Seeing a blue wash of light and black rotating rocks silhouetted against it, with god rays and diffraction spikes...
Bliss
It's 4 jumps away from a high tech system with 5 factions I am allied with so I get my fair share of mining missions. All in all, as a Broker rank trader, I make roughly 2.5-3.5m credits per 90 minutes with station refreshes. That's excellent mid-tier trading and is so much more interesting than goods trading..
Oh and lastly, that's my gorgeous Clipper-Miner. I've decided to name it after my wife. So it's called The Kirsten.
Please come and mine with me guys. I'd be MORE than happy to give you a crash course, as well as share the riches
Here's the system map. The tinder and its partner are both metallic, the rest are metal-rich.
