#quartz is nice and I'm glad for crystal derived time, but I voted #cinnabar. Quartz is omnipresent, but the trip with single digit aged me and my dad and the guide to Obermoschel was unique. I'm working with quartz for clock signals, have some nice oscillators (Rb Controlled, heated) but my picture shows an old russian low frequency quartz bar I'm didn't come around to use yet. #mincup23 #teamquartz

My favorite rock is #BandedIronFormation, a sedimentary rock comprised of thin bands of #Magnetite and #Hematite interlaced with (usually) reddish #jasper (chert #quartz). It's beautiful, primarily down to #TeamQuartz. Sadly, neither hematite or magnetite are in #MinCup23 Vote for quartz here: https://www.mineralcup.org/2023/campaigns/round-1-match-2

Still on the fence between #Quartz and #Cinnabar? Did you know that chert is another name for microcrystalline quartz? So is flint (a variety of chert). Flint gave early humans fire, arrow tips, and other tools, it was the first mineral mined, supposedly.
Does #Link go around looking for cinnabar? Is cinnabar featured in #minecraft? Heck no. #MinCup23 #TeamQuartz -
C'mon folks, go to #MineralCup at https://www.mineralcup.org/2023/campaigns/round-1-match-2 and put your vote in for #Quartz! Quartz is the working stiff of #Minerals, the everyman, it's the Joad family of minerals, basically. Sure #cinnabar is pretty, it's splashy, and is an important mercury ore mineral, it's worthy, but can you count on it when the chips are down and you need to build a road, or make a sandcastle? Why do these people hate #sandcastles? That's like hating #kittens. #MinCup23 #TeamQuartz
