I’m still in this, enjoying the little kernels of new information. I’m loving this competition.
I went with #baryte bc it looks cool & does fun things w light. It was a tough decision, but ultimately I decided that voting for hematite probably wouldn’t convince my body to absorb iron properly so…

#baryte has a pretty range of colors, shapes is plentiful and is useful in industry so it gets my vote. #Mincup#25

Exciting #MinCup25 matchup for R2M3
We have #baryte, a chemically inert agent for medicine, oil drilling, and a host of other things, which is soft
Versus
#hematite, aka Bloodstone, which is a 70% iron ore that is named for blood, and is very hard.
Soft metal versus hard metal

Use of #Baryte helped detect my wife’s cancer. Yet, #Hematite has been a fave since I was a kid, turned Mars red (BEFORE I was a kid, OK?), there now in weirdly cool “blueberries,” super imp in art & tells a story of Earth’s habitability. Artist Wife says: “Hematite obv!” So there it is. #MinCup25

White flaky-looking layers at odd angles with dark specks throughout
I promised a closer look at this #baryte if it moved on to Round Two and I keep my promises to this self-imposed side quest.
I would love to hear how professionals would describe the flaky layers and speckling. I'm sure "halva" isn't the right comparison?

Baryte varieties from the same locale. Solid salmon pink, coxcomb and fleur-de-lis. From my own, small yet storage-troubling collection.
#teambaryte #barite today. I’ve got to vote for the local lad as I step over enough of it now without even picking it up. Found in a lot of spoil due to its hanging around with galena. Three variants inc the unusual fleur-de-lis type on the right: #mincup25 #baryte

Okay … I must admit this #baryte is pretty. Very nice sample. Especially combined with dolomite.
Go to the mindat website and find a few photos of your favorite mineral.

Calcite glows red white the rims of tabular Baryte crystals glow bright with phosphoresce under UV light. Image from The Mineralogy of Nova Scotia - Fluorescents (nsminerals-atspace-org)
Three reasons why #Baryte is a favorite for medical imaging:
1. non-toxicity
2. insolubility in stomach acids and
3. bright fluorescence

Archaean #Baryte deposits of the Barberton Greenstone Belt provide insight on the composition of Earth’s atmosphere and crust 3.2 bya. Sulfate-bearing meteoric water combined with cold spring-sourced Ba formed Baryte deposits in sands and cherts. Fluor- and phosphorescent.

This round goes to my girl #Hematite, of course. #Baryte had her run, but many fair points were made about the reliance on her role in the fossil fuel industry last round & I can't abandon my magnetic beauty just yet, anyway.
