Round 1 Match 3 of #OreCup25 #OreCup
is Ilmenite vs JadariteIlmenite as a titanium-iron oxide mineral wins the arts vote for titanium dioxide white paint in modern art (like this Franz Klein).
Though Jadarite, only discovered in 2004 gets some physics points as a source of lithium (& use in batteries) & some arts points for boron (used in ceramic & glasses) #scicomm #arthist

Round 1 match 2 of #OreCup25 is molybdenite versus tetrahedrite.
I have to give Molybdenite the physics vote (as source of Re used for geochronology, as a source of Mo used as a catalyst, battery electrodes, alloys of iron & semiconductors),
But Tetrahedrite gets physics points for being thermoelectric (it can be used turn heat into electricity) & some arts points as a historically important ore of copper.

Voting for minerals is back this week with the new #OreCup! I am taking my art and physics applications voting scheme from the #MinCup25, but the #OreCup25 is making it hard pitting 2 strong contenders against each other in the first round! Found worldwide Copper & Galena have been used since antiquity (see the woodcut of early Galena smelting via Agricola here). Both used for pigments (as with the copper-based verdigris used in this Van Eyck).

#Galena is a primary ore mineral for lead.
Nearly every car on the road today, even EVs, have a lead battery for powering accessories.
Lead batteries are the most recycled product (over 99% in the US) and overall lead recycling (76%) is second only to gold.

Today, molybdenum is one of the most common trace elements in the ocean due to oxidative weathering of #Molybdenite. But in the Archean the oceans were reducing, and molybdenum was scarce.
Other nitrogenases evolved to use other transition elements, but Mo-nitrogenase was first, and best.
Molybdenite enables the Earth's biosphere!

#Molybdenite is the primary host for the element molybdenum in the Earth's crust.
Molybdenum is part of the most effective biological molecule for nitrogen fixation (Mo-nitrogenase), which converts atmospheric N2 to a bio-available form.
The grey sphere is Mo; this complex molecule likely evolved more than 3.2 billion years ago.
