Rhodochrosite has won the Mineral Cup!
Well done @mineralcup.bsky.social and congratulations to the meat rock fans! #MinCup24 was a great success as always.
Here’s my final excuse to post my Lino block print Rhodochrosite.
Next year I have a different print to suggest. 😉

With #kyanite I always remember this video created by Stacey Phillips via the Mineralogical Society (the LEGO stop motion science videos) -

All my faves have been defeated so here’s your chance to convince me to vote in the finals of #MinCup24!
Shall it be Rhodochrosite so we never have to hear the chants of “meat rock” again?
Or should I vote for pretty blue Kyanite, used in ceramics, gems & as an index mineral?
Convince me.

Some non #MinCup24 related mineralogy.
The discussions around calcite made me think of the database of grains in sediment from my 2023 paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-47029-4).
There is this thing we tell: aragonite is more common in the #ocean in low latitudes than in high latitudes. But I can show that with my #research !
I reprocessed the data for the shelves to show how carbonate grain mineralogy changes with latitude - for the #sedimentology classroom. -

It's the #MinCup24 finals! There were ups and downs, but my favorite Rhodochrosite has made it to the finals! Please vote for this lovely pink mineral that has inspired many legends 😊

We made to the final round of #MinCup24, it's the moment - Red vs. Blue!
Rhodochrosite, a flamboyant carbonate and possibly a key to the Mn cycle up agians Kyanite, a bladed aluminosilicate. While we still want revenge for Calcite, it's Go #TeamCarboante!

Alright fine. I guess we're doing red vs blue (someone who paid more attention to RvB than me should haul out the quotes.) (... well okay it's more that I've never seen the first like. Idk 5 seasons? With captions so I genuinely dgaf. I have an autograph from... someone roosterteeth circa 2010 tho), so ANYWAY tangent aside, while the meat rock looks tasty, you can't eat it. So one must go with #kyanite!! #MinCup24

Kyanite is used in porcelain(more dishware and plumbing than art) but it is used in jewelry. Plus it is an index mineral. But I am going to give the art vote to Dioptase for its unparalleled history as a pigment which stretches back to the Neolithic! For the #MinCup24 semi-finals and the last surviving pigment in competition!
