#Dioptase vs #wavellite is not fair this early in the bracket 💀
But 👀👀 that's a whole lot of minerals I'm not familiar with this year! Time to get started on doing some looking up and picking my faves - and deciding what merits I'm voting on this year. 🤣🤣

#Wavellite crystals #Arkansas #USA
Aluminum basic phosphate mineral with the formula Al₃(PO₄)₂(OH,F)₃·5H₂O, typically appearing in green to yellowish-green hues.
It was named in 1805 by William Babington in honor of Dr. William Wavell, a Devon-based physician and naturalist.
Wavellite commonly forms in fractures of aluminous metamorphic rocks.

As of this round of the #mincup24 vote, I chose #Dioptase over #Wavellite since I own more specimens (obviously, I bought more because I loved it more, for the emerald color and its variety of localities). :blobcatgooglytrash:

O no what a match-up. Alas for #wavellite, lovely kiwi mineral, arbitrary choice to vote for the one in my collection has me voting for #dioptase. (I think this might be the furthest in dioptase has gotten in the years I've been playing! 👀 ... now watch I just jinxed it. 😆) #MinCup24

A) that's SO close right now; #wavellite in the lead by 3 votes. B) I perhaps shouldn't vote at 5am but also when am I not tired anymore?? ("Hmmm wavellite looks like a weird kiwi.... I like that." 😅🤣🤣🤣) #MinCup24

Interesting match up - they're both classed as phosphates/arsenates/vanadates, one hydrous phosphate ( #wavellite), one anhydrous arsenate ( #durangite); both have fun crystal habit (when they accrue that far); both seem to be rare...
But wavellite has the more interesting chemical structure, and also I'm surprised it doesn't have arsenic OR something nastier, given the crystal structure mindat shows it likes... before it MAYBE goes all clusters of blobs. (I'd usually say botryoidal but mindat says the inside structure is still very sprays of crystal which is cooooooool but not very botryoid-formation.)
I think it's obvious how I'm voting, don't you? Lol. #MinCup24

#Wavellite is a rare phosphate mineral known for its vibrant colors, unique crystal forms, and soft, waxy luster. It's a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts due to its fascinating properties and potential for stunning jewelry pieces.
