  1. @silicatefondue @rpmik Oh hello now! This alone justifies my vote for #Leucite in today’s Mineral Cup 2025 contest! I’m a longtime victim or benefactee of Leucite most likely.

  6. is used to make dental porcelain (or rather, leucite + glass from melting feldspar incongruently). Thiis is becuase it:
    is immune system compatible
    is machinable
    is fracture resistant with low porosity
    it doesn't easily stain or discolour
    and most importantly, its thermal expansion matches the metal anchor

  11. 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

  16. 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

  21. @silicatefondue oh my new strange lands and ideas are now available to me. The page linking to the Wyoming Leucite Hills is a goldmine of geological information and discoveries.

    Even more entrancing to my artist eyes, the landscape photography shown is from the Tumbler for mypubliclands. I think this means it was from BLM photographers and I wonder if this deep knowledge has been protected from disappearing online and that the BLM scientists and photographers are still employed, considering US administration changes.

    If I was able to do so, I’d order prints to frame from the landscape photography here. A perfect area for drone photography if you can’t fly over the vast expanses. #Leucite #MinCup25

  26. @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

  31. 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.

  41. 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 !
