Round 1 Match 11 of the Mineral Cup is Julienite vs Calcite.
Julienite is blue, but Calcite? No contest for my use in art/physics voting scheme. Pigments, chalk, sculpture… all of art history! Calcite has brought us all of marble art and limestone sculpture, chalk drawing, pigment and extender. Also fossils! Trilobite eyes! Plus: birefringence. Elucidated the nature of light for us. VOTE CALCITE!

Round 1 Match 10 of #MinCup26 is
Pyromorphite vs Gypsum.It's cool that a fungus, Paecilomyces javanicus can make bio minerals of Pyromorphite (sometimes an ore of lead) in lead-polluted soil, and lead is used in pigments but Gypsum easily wins my art vote, with gypsum sculpture since antiquity, & its use in painting & chalk.
