[Under the Martian #tropics ...] There was a time when #water abounded and shaped the Martian #landscapes. This is evidenced by several fragments of clear, alumina-rich #rocks recently analyzed by the instruments of the #Perseverance rover ...
These rocks contain minerals such as #kaolinite, one of the markers of a once habitable environment. Infos+ : https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2025/02/could-mars-have-had-a-tropical-climate-in-the-past/

Not sure what to vote for in match 1 of #MinCup23? Here's a summary:
#Moissanite
SiC
Name: after Henri Moissan, who discovered it in Canyon Diablo Meteorite
Natural occurrence: as presolar grains in meteorites; in kimberlites (origin: Earth's mantle)
Neat fact: changes color when heated
#Kaolinite
Al2(Si2O5)(OH)4
Name: derived from Gaoling, China
Natural occurrence: widespread weathering product of Al-Si minerals
Neat fact: used in prehistoric times for pottery

I used to have a set of #kaolinite dinnerware, but now it's just mullite. #Moissanite can take the heat -up to 2500°C. #MinCup23
