Let’s go #TeamIkaite. CaCO₃·6H₂O, it’s #Carbonate. Look at all of those water molecules. Crazy. #TeamCalcite needs to step in and support.

Thinking about voting for #ikaite because it can turn into #calcite.
By the way, might also turn into opal. Just sayin’.

I'm used to disappointment, is what I'm saying. 1952 was only the first of many. At least this time, as in 1952, I had a candidate I believe in.
Thank you to all the Team Calcite voters and campaigners. You are my people.

By the way, if you join #TeamCalcite, you can consider it a birthday present to me.

Look at this #calcite crystal and its super strong birefringence, yielding two distinct optical paths! And yes, that's Captain Haddock, a subtle reference to the strong polarization effects in calcite sunstones, likely used as navigational aid by seafarers in the Viking Age. #MinCup25 #teamcalcite

A #ThinSectionThursday redux for #TeamCalcite ⚒️ CaCO3, among other carbonates, is both timelord *and* a thermometer, it records climate, and it sequesters CO2. Can you imagine a world without calcite? I'd prefer not to!

I'm once again imploring everyone to vote for Iceland Spar, the Viking compass! A type of calcite used by the Vikings to navigate on cloudy days.

I live in Denmark - basically a rubble pile left over from a couple of recent ice ages. We can't boast many native rocks, except flint, Jurassic coral reef and GEM QUALITY FIBROUS #CALCITE!!! I love it, I own literally half a ton. #TeamCalcite #MinCup25

#TeamCalcite It’s time to rally. The #Mincup team did a great write up for my favorite mineral. I grew up in eastern Kansas, #Limestone country with plenty of #Calcite. It’s not flashy like a lot of others, it is a staple in #Geology. Vote #Calcite.

Cobaltoan #Calcite from Bou Azzer area, Morocco. The small amount of Co in the structure changes the color to various pink hues, including some crazy bright pink specimens.

This one hurts.
But I gotta stay true to my longterm convictions.

Now for a match-up I actually care about! I feared this.
Perovskite is such a potentially important part of our #solarpunk future... but I'm #TeamCalcite through, so there was never really a choice.

As cool as perovskite is, it's calcite that has me enchanted.
Calcite-carved caves make a home for bats. Artists of all ages use calcite in their creations, from sidewalk chalk to marble. There's calcite in every collection. It's calling out to you now.
Vote Calcite!

I’m #TeamCalcite - o yes I am - but did Calcite end up in the 2025 bracket because of the luck of the draw, or in spite of it?!?
