Mineral Cup Round 1 Match 2, Erythrite vs. Skutterudite.
Red Erythrite is an ore of cobalt, which is used in modern paints, but Skutterudite has been known since the Middle Ages & used in the production of smalt, a pigment in painting, glass making & ceramics, thus has a substantial contribution to art history.
