#kaolinite is chemically and structurally simple. It is described as a 1:1 or TO clay mineral because its crystals consist of stacked TO layers. Each TO layer consists of a tetrahedral (T) sheet composed of silicon and oxygen ions bonded to an octahedral (O) sheet composed of oxyge

2025 #vintage in process #viticulture in #Loirevalley, #anjou Chenin blanc turn to Veraison since 2 week, early like 2022 and 2020 vintage. Can't wait for #harvest #grape and data ! It smell a great one. We made trials with #kaolinite leafs covering, and #rootstock

Well, at least you'll get next year off from them!

#kaolinite will have its revenge!

Next year will see #Perovskite crowned for her tireless perseverance & environmentalism. I'll start working on the materials well in advance.

I'm hopefull, too, for more years to come - I'm in it for the long haul to see #Kaolinite, #Vivianite, #Calcite, #Corundum, #Kyanite, & more take the cup! 💎🏆

With Corundum & Vivianite already out, I'm declaring war this year, by the way.
The Left(bracket) shall rise, one way or another. (Still showin' up for #Kyanite though.)

My top picks are #Perovskite (esp after avenging #Kaolinite) & #Calcite (esp if it can avenge #Quartz) but now we wait.
#MinCup24

😭 next year for #Kaolinite?!? I was surprised how that vote went down!!! (But then again I’m campaigning for calcite to go all the way this year, I was so sad when it got knocked out last year, so I feel you…)

Mineral cup results, showing Abelsonite with 650 votes and Kaolinite with 632.

#MinCup24 #Abelsonite, the rare mineralized chlorophyll, wins over the civilization-ceitical #Kaolinite, by 18 votes!

Next up, though, the tables have turned as Team #Corundrum turn out to try to overwhelm do-not-lick #Arsenuranospathite! Vote at www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r1...

Look, I love me a bizzare and truly "out there" mineral #TeamQuetzalcoatlite - and #Abelsonite is a stunning, crystal-forming organic / aromatic porphyrin with Nickle in the center of the quadpyrole plane.

However, I'm going with the mineral repped by The Sugarhill Gang, #Kaolinite

Today is the first duel of #MinCup2024. It's the well known #kaolinite, an important ingredient for #porcelain/#china, vs. the rare #mineral #abelsonite. Doesn't matter how rare... #foodbowl beats everything 😹
#DoesItCat ? Of course 😹

Round 1 Match 1 — Mineral Cup Kaolinite vs Abelsonite

🚨 Today it is #Kaolinite vs. #Abelsonite in #MinCup24.

Porcellaine and shiny papers are nice, but how cool is #Abelsonite? It has vibrant colors 🟥🟪🟫 and is the only naturally occuring porphyrine. And it's possibly derived from paleo-chlorophyll 🌿🍀!!

A porcelain bowl before the last firing. The decorations are paw prints and a sketch of a cat 😻

Today: last week one of the humans was on #hedgewatch in a #porcelain #cafe. I'm impawressd. One main ingredient of china is the #clay #mineral #kaolinite. Which is produced by weathering of e.g. #feldspar.
