When not writing stories about #zircon for #MinCup23 (hooray!), I can be found on occasion doing other #scicomm. This is from an event over the weekend at the #Australian Parliament House Open Day (to mark 35 years since the opening). Geoscience Australia were invited to tell the stories of the beautiful architectural #stone from around the world used in the design of the building (see examples in the picture). We also threw in some local rocks and #fossils and some of our awesome interactive tubs. It was a busy day but always interesting to talk to the public. Big thanks to the GA and APH organisers for a great day!

#Zircon and #Perovskite are worthy adversaries. Congratulations!
Next year is the year of #sapphirine. Momentum is building -it received 100's of more votes than last year.
Go Blue! Go Sapphirine!

#Zircon shock twins in zircon with planar fractures in Chicxulub quartz-monzodiorite dike. Do not be complacent #TeamZircon. Call your grandma and your Great Uncle Bob. Rally your colleagues and students. Pester your parents. Annoy your neighbors. This is it! We still need some zircon magic to keep the votes coming! #ZirconRemembers #MinCup23

Do you like sparkle? Gem-quality zircon has a higher refractive index than sapphires or rubies. Blue zircons are more expensive, and are usually are heat-treated. Do not confuse them with cubic zirconium. More here: https://marksingermandesigns.com/2016/12/14/five-essential-things-to-know-about-zircon-gemstones/

https://www.mineralcup.org/2023/campaigns/round-5-match-1 And for chrissakes don't vote for #Zircon. It wins every year.

The time has come for me to bring up the time I had a picture with David Tennant, TimeLord.
Vote #Zircon #MinCup23 @MineralCup #TeamZircon -
Voted for #perovskite because #zircon has an early, fast lead and at this point everyone is singing its praises. Pffft.
Anyway this #MinCup23 has been fun but I think I will pick a different criteria to vote on next year. 🤣 too many minerals don't fit "chaos" (by my admittedly somewhat arbitrary definition, but hey, aren't we all using somewhat arbitrary scales in the end? 🤣🤣)!
Also may perovskite win!!
