    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.
