We gotta go with Jane the #zircon grain in this round of #MinCup2022. @MineralCup
Meet Jane (and Gary the garnet, and Mitesh the mica) and hear their stories: https://t.co/GYdtxN6p8r https://t.co/ZwVbMl9FFM
@MineralCup #MinCup2022 Match Round 1
A bit of a cheat? Annabergite is in the same mineral group as Viviannite. It is isostructural, but with Ni replacing Fe and As replacing
Lizardite is another layer structure and is very similar to Chrysotile (a form of asbestos)
Not only is #zircon pretty, it's a phenomenal geological dating tool and is especially useful for planetary geology! #Meteorite researchers can use zircon to track the timing of impact events and magma crystallisation billions of years ago☄️ #MinCup2022 https://t.co/LDzjQcSpZs
I don't have any particularly strong feelings about today's #MinCup2022 match, but sided with #wulfenite because a) it's orange and b) the original Latin name for it is dope https://t.co/IcwkZYbXnZ
Ah! *That Color* on wulfanite might be worth a @MineralCup. Swoon.
But take a look at these Moche turquoise & #sodalite earrings from @metmuseum. We’re going with the statement piece in today’s #MinCup2022 matchup. https://t.co/HuHWgrj4Pe
