Bornite winning by 227 votes to Carrolite’s 185 votes
After trailing in the first half, hefty #Bornite pulled off a peacock strut to secure victory by a 10% margin. Congratulations!
Condolences, #Carrollite, but at least cobalt blue is the perfect shade for a calm but disappointed defeat?

I’m voting for the only Co ore in the Ore Cup, the superconductor mineral #Carrollite. Co serves many industrial, medical, and artistic applications, from battery and magnet technology, to radiotherapy, to glass and ceramic glaze coloring agent.

A screen shot from James Rada, Jr.'s article on Carroll Co., Maryland and carrollite. Has a nice photo of carrollite, not from Maryland (the local samples are not photogenic).
Nice article on the type locality of #carrollite : Carroll County, Maryland and the Patapsco Mine.

I have to endorse #Carrollite today—copper PLUS cobalt!
1st I love cobalt blue
2nd cobalt comes from kobold, the German name for an imp or demon, so named bc it made recovery of silver (from ores where they mixed) more difficult to recover.
(Yes that’s where D&D got it.)
#OreCup
Two more copper ores today, but at least #carrollite is also a cobalt ore.
Octahedral crystals, polysynthetic twinning striations, super conductivity, and iridescent sheen? Yes, please. #carrollite

#OreCup R1M4: This match is coming hot from a hydrothermal vein as #Carrollite competes with #Bornite. Both are copper ores with a beautiful tarnish. You have 24 hours to decide!
