Although #hematite stained grains from the North Atlantic tell about past ice dynamics (very cool) I vote for #haüyne - just beautiful (and sometimes fluorescent under UV light!)! 🤩

Tensions are high and ONE vote--YOUR vote--can make the difference!
40 minutes left in this matchup. (And all due respect to #haüyne, but the first mineral specimen my geologist dad got me as a gift was #hematite, so...)
#MinCup25 goes hard!

This is what I've been trying to tell you guys. THIS is a mineral. Look at all those atoms of different elements all doing geometry together. Vote #haüyne or be square. #MinCup25

#MinCup25 Quarterfinal!
Lets get excited for Qf R1!
#teampretty has already chosen #Haüyne, and I expect #teamblue to join them to advance this mineral.
Reliable #hematite has some really fun formations. #teamblood is on this one and so is #teametal.
Lets shake this up!

Hematite to me always looks like illness turned rock, line seriously unhealthy.
Therfore: #Haüyne

#MinCup25 Quarterfinal 1: 🔷 #Haüyne vs 🩸 #Hematite. A fluorescent feldspathoid of brilliant blues meets the iron oxide that contributes to the iconic red color of Mars.

It's very important (to my daughter at least) that you vote immediately for #Haüyne in this round of the 2025 Mineral Cup! 💙 The clock is ticking!

Tough one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha%C3%B... has a better image of #haüyne but it's going to be #hematite for me. Its switch of magn. properties from anti-ferromag. to ferromag. to paramag does it for me!

This one’s hard. #hematite is literal blood stone which is metal af but reindeer blood’s #tugtupite has its hold on me. #haüyne has the U umlaut and I do love blues but my #1 is #kyanite so if that beats #kosmochlor faces who wins here. That all said, K may fare better against another blue so🤞🔵

Boy, is this ever Heartbreak City. I mean, #Haüyne is a blue beauty, but #Hematite has been my favorite since I was a kid here on Earth, while it was also turning Mars red. How can I say no to that? See ya in #MinCup26 haüyne, as I’m pushing hard for hematite in #MinCup25! (Alt text for more.)

It looks like this will be a horse race, so let me just say that #haüyne is a tectosilicate made of paired tetrahedra, each tetrahedron a Si atom surrounded by 4 O atoms except that the two Si atoms share one O atom at one corner. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicat....
#Hematite is just rust. #MinCup25

First matchup of the quarterfinals and it’s gonna hurt!
#Haüyne is blue & can be part of lapis lazuli, so I gotta go with it… but oh it hurts to not be able to support the mineral that makes Mars red!
Stake your position & vote!

Gas bubbles?!
What’s in the bubbles? What’s in the bubbles? What’s found in gas bubbles in #haüyne? Off to Google Scholar … 🧐

Haüyne should get the art vote, the history vote, and the optoelectronics vote! It’s a winner from the past and into the future.
Also, blah blah blah … not my field. 😬

Here we go …
Voting for #haüyne!
One of two minerals contributing to the most beautiful blue color of the stone lapis lazuli. The other is lazurite.
Sought after for over 9000 years, important for artistic expression and communication.

A very neat gray rock with the middle kinda hollowed out and crystals growing inside!
Mental health is still rocky but improving. I haven't yet been back to the museum, but! I found #haüyne a couple of days after its first match and grabbed a photo.
Round TWO!!

I’m in a pickle and only have myself to blame as I voted for both #Pectolite and #Haüyne in the opening round of #MinCup25. I still love both, but I’m tending towards the one foünd düe to volcanic (vülcanic?) processes. I’m open to persüasion, büt the bright blü ümlaüt is speaking tü me right now.
