(No to Howard even after written out of sex-pest-ness. FYI to luck gods out there 🤞 re: possible cast)

And since Dioptase is still in the #MineralCup, we're shilling for it next September (?) onwards again as usual. (A girl's gotta have hobbies, whatever you like.)

Nice to see #OreCup maintains the primary feature of #MineralCup, making me make TOUGH choices! I’m #TeamCopper so I win either way, but #Bornite is just so pretty, a true rainbow 🌈 rock, and it was named after Ignaz von Born, which makes me think of Ignatz Mouse! Of such things are votes made/cast.

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!

Well, if you want to have a faceoff AlienEarth vs HumanEarth, you'd have to get them into the #MineralCup. And get some kind of bsky voting system going, which is a roundabout way to say is bsky voting on the horizon yet? Pretty please with calcite sprinkles? bsky.app/profile/rehe...

In honour of #Feldspar 🎭🦉 from #ForestOfWhales, feldspathoid being close enough, #Haüyne and its blue for #MineralCup
(Or to make sure misspelled versions make it in, #Hayüne, whichever right in the end.)

Bluesky-blue crystal aggregate of benitoite, the California state gemstone, in the natural shape of a bird in flight
The annual #mineralcup contest is underway here on Bluesky. I don't think this mineral is part of it this time, but admire it anyway.

Reason you should vote for #stibnite for today's #MineralCup.
I always learn a lot about mineral uses during September.

Tribbles on a bar in the Star Trek: Original Series episode The Trouble With Tribbloes.
#Okenite looks like something you see from the site of a surviving meteorite that you collect and put on the mantel of the fireplace... until it starts cutely purring.
You are also advised NOT to eat #Stibnite.

Bart Simpson encouraging his classmates to chant "MORE ASBESTOS! MORE ASBESTOS!"
Difficult choice in the first match.
#Chrysotile is a mineral that will make you sick while #Pectolite sounds like short-lived artificial sweetener that will eventually make you sick.

The age-old #mineralcup argument. Some say ice is a mineral, making glaciers a rock.

That's a good rock, despite the constant snubbing in #mineralcup as a source of frustration.

This reminds me, I hope I remember #MineralCup this autumn, September or whenever it usually started.
Only time I go near the topic, but Mineral Cup will feature once spotted again.

Hold on … do I want to nominate titanium oxide? Or rutile or anatase or akaogiite or brookite?!
Is it one mineral or four? Nominate all of them?
It would be an interesting #MineralCup if all the competitors were different mineral forms of a smaller number of chemical compounds. 😁

At least one has made it across; #MineralCup used an external platform for votes in each round. bsky.app/profile/mine...
