They both beat #dioptase, so 🖕
Team #Dioptase, can we get a shout out to the sky weather aurora not only trying to promote the green of dioptase, but also clearly being a sign from the Sun itself that North is the way to go? Sun spots out for blood 🙀
#Tugtupite under the #NorthernLights show FTW!

We'll always have next year, and we honed so many new campaigning angles this year (... we just need to try to remember even half of them a year from now 🤦♀️) it's momentum time next year for sure! ⬆️
We got "bronze" a second year in a row!
#Dioptase
Even the Sun and current space/sky weather wants #Dioptase to go through to the final round in #MinCup25
Aurora-tase? 😉

Thanks @mineralcup.bsky.social in any case, here's to the finale in 2 minutes!
Selfishly, I like my write up for #Tugtupite better than my one for #Dioptase, especially as nap ended before I could write a good rematch-kicker.
So for my writer-ego, I’m hoping newbie makes the #MinCup25 finals! 😂
#Dioptase fans, come out of your sparkly caves and vote! (But only once. 🤓)
With an hour to go, this semifinal is going down to the wire! Only seven votes separate #Tugtupite & #Dioptase out of 1,536 cast. The Green Queen of the Desert v Greenland Reindeer Blood is way too close to call. If you haven’t voted, vote. If you have, get others. #MinCup25 bringing all the drama!
Heck no! Team Green all the way. Not only does #dioptase look much better it gets bonus points from me for having been used in paintings.
#MinCup25
#tugtuptite rules, #dioptase drools!! Vote #tugtuptite! #MinCup25
Would you like a Forbidden jelly baby, #DoctorWho fandom?
Then please rush to vote for #Dioptase in #MinCup25 before 1,2h runs out, or UK midnight - unless you have a #TARDIS & can go back to vote for it at any time 😇🙏

Final round starts right after this nail-biter 👀

It's just a little guy standing in front of #MinCup25 asking you to love it 🥺🦄💫
Dorky #ForbiddenJellyBaby #Dioptase needs a votes push to the end! Squishy #hug time, get your yummy candy here! 🫂 It's a silly cyclosilicate resident of #Oz

With just under three hours to go, the Chartreuse Enchanter has pulled into a slight lead for the first time. Go Green! Go #Dioptase! #MinCup25
When I checked just now, #tugtupite was only 3 votes ahead of #dioptase. Come on, Team Dioptase! Recruit some more voters! #MinCup25
Queen Green can deliver justice for #Perovskite! Vote #Dioptase!

#Dioptase is an amazing colour-changing pleochroic goddess of a queen that looks as stunning as #Tugtupite -if not more.
She well deserves a crown in #MinCup25!
An international 'crystal water' stone of mystery, it also went by the names of #achrite, #emeraudine, copper emerald or #kirghisite 🥷👑
Closing in, it looks like #Dioptase is finally making its move on #Tugtupite. The Reindeer Blood Stone has a slim lead over the Chartreuse Enchanter. Will the Green Desert Queen get past Greenland?
(I love them both, but am already planning a big push for #Kyanite in the #MinCup25 final tomorrow.)
This is so hard! Okay, I'm gonna go vote #Tugtupite, so #Dioptase fans should get in there!
With 5.5 hours remaining to vote, #Tugtupite has the lead by under 40 votes over #Dioptase.
Campaign for your fav and recruit new players to pick which mineral will compete in the #MinCup25 finals against #Kyanite!
Less than 40 votes down #teamgreen
Lets get Dioptase into the final!

What I see is a bad bruise, and the same bruise a week later, badly inflamed.
I'm voting #Dioptase
#MinCup25
This is not meant to be an endorsement of #Tugtupite, as I’m really not over that plucky little newcomer beating my beloved #Perovskite in the #MinCup25 quarterfinals. I love, love, love Green Queen #Dioptase. #MinCup25 is making things hard!

Wow. #MinCup25 rookie #Tugtupite has so many emotional advantages over hardened (not Mohs-wise) veteran desert queen #Dioptase. It’s like it got designed when an elementary school class got asked “What do you want in a mineral?”
Pink! Changes color! Glows! Electric powers! Mythical reindeer blood!
