  1. Not only was recently discovered, it's only been present for a short part of Earth history; it needs copper and guano in dry areas.

  2. Mm I have been apparently Sleeping Wrong according to my neck and head (hypermobility problems 😩) so I'm slow on judging the chaos of #adamite vs #ammineite!

    On the one hand, adamite is an arsenate mineral - fun, but deadly. (Also apparently a term for a certain type of nudist. 😅)

    But ammineite is hella weird and neat and was the first scientifically recognized mineral of its family - and now there are Four Other ammine-based minerals, too! That's pretty chaotic, really. #MinCup23

  7. Today my vote is for #Adamite. The crystals are so colorful & varied coming in wedge-like prisms and radiating clusters & also smooth botryoidal masses, & bonus… it fluoresces! #Ammineite just looks like a bad snow cone that they didn’t quite get covered all the way with the blue syrup. #MinCup23
