  1. Native copper in a sedimentary conglomerate. It is proposed that detrital hematite reacts with copper sulfate solutions to reduce the copper and the fluids carry away the iron and sulfur.

  6. Round 1 Match 3 of #OreCup25 #OreCup
    is Ilmenite vs Jadarite

    Ilmenite 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

  11. 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.

  21. 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).

  26. Remember dendrites (from the Greek word dendron meaning tree)? They are tree-like minerals that form under special conditions. There is a lovely dendritic #copper sample on the upper right.
