  1. @cobalt123 but...but...with #carpathite you get to draw lotsa hexagons. How fun!

  2. Oh noooooo, I think people are voting for the pretty fluorescent view of the cobalt glow from the first specimen in the page! Clearly my choice is heavily out-voted at present! C’mon my rock people homies, help me out with your vote on the Leucite. And do look at the hashtags where you’ll find the Mastodon fans providing fascinating information. #Carpathite #Leucite

  7. Ok I am now changing my intended vote to Leucite after reading the history and geology from the pages links by contributions in posts. I’m telling you, you are missing out if you don’t click on the hashtags and travel deeper. Although my artist eyes were immediately drawn to the cobalt blue glowing, the Leucite Hills in Wyoming have history back to 1871 explorations and the lamproites glinting with tiny Leucite crystals sparked further research. #Carpathite #Leucite #MinCup25

  12. @silicatefondue Oh my the thin section slide photos are fascinating to see the amazing transitions for crystals in high heat! Thanks for sharing the Smith College page! “Strange, high potassium lamproites” - what a phrase. I have no idea what that means but now must have a look. Appreciate very much your information on #MinCup25 for #Leucite and #Carpathite

  17. I have never heard of either mineral and that’s a bit rare for me, but then if I were a chemist I might have. The vote today is for Carpathite and Leucite. Anyone here in Mastodon know about either? This is a screenshot of the page to vote. Anyone can vote and no need to register. I bet there will be fewer than the usual 1,000 votes. Link below

    Of course I am drawn to the first, #Carpathite because it is shown in typical light as green and then fluorescent as very glowing blue. Like a cobalt blue from the unknown dark matrix rock and vivid light blue from the green star shape of needle-type crystals. #Leucite looks terrible on the page as a cloudy dull crystal nicknamed a white garnet.

  22. Leucite has a range of volcanic hills named after it, see:
    geowyo.com/leucite-hills.html

    These are strange, high potassium lamproites from the mantle, only 1-2 million years old.

    Match that, organic goo !
