#MinCup25 is tearing my relationship apart. I had to finally tell him I thought hematite was overrated. 😔 #TeamKyanite #AHouseDivided

I am on #TeamKyanite. Yes #meteorites are cool. But this is #Earth. High pressure, low temperature #Metamorphic all the way.

After a hard-fought, record-breaking battle, the winner of Mineral Cup 2024 is Rhodochrosite! The light-hearted campaign brought home the bacon, and it couldn’t have been more tasty. Kudos to #TeamKyanite; well done! More to follow this post.

This was supposed to be a gif & I just noticed it didn't work, I'm sorry. Dx
Alt text is in the quoted skeet, but here's a link to the gif itself if you wanted to see it in motion, lol:

Danny Devito as Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, again. This time he's looking more crazed and rushing through a restaurant saying "Somebody's got to get stabbed" with his teeth bared.
#TeamKyanite Where's your tenacity? After years of scraping by, your time has come! Are you truly content with letting it slip away to a pink slab of "Meat"?
If #TeamRhodochrosite had really run relying on any of its genuine merits, it wouldn't be half as embarrassing, but "Meat Rock"?? 🔪

Danny Devito as Frank Reynolds from Its Always Sunny, holding two pistols close to his chest as he gesticulates towards the camera with them. White meme text reads "So anyway I started stabbing".
#TeamKyanite, we have less than an hour! Quit admiring the pretty hues & get to slicing!

A grief-stricken Jesse from Breaking Bad saying, "He can't keep getting away with it!" in yellow subtitles; A classic.
Great turnout! #MinCup24
But #TeamKyanite needs more of it!!!
We can't let the Meat beat the Knife after all it's done!

See, you too can join #TeamKyanite, even if you've been seduced by the wily Meat Rock in the past.

Defeat the vanguards of minerals, Quartz and Calcite, you do not deserve any crown.
Vote with honor.
Also, go Blue!

I have a few more memes saved for the finale, but I will definitely be a bit quieter tomorrow, dealing with some offline business.
I have more memes in the bank for #TeamKyanite, so defend that lead with the sharpest blades we've got & give me an excuse to post 'em! 😂

I see your "a vote for #Dioptase is a vote against #Rhodochrosite" skeets & I raise you:
"If #Rhodochrosite is Meat Rock, it's only logical to cut it down with Knife Rock."

I've rallied for #TeamKyanite before & I'm happy to see it with such a strong lead this round!
It's a very cool mineral that forms under very spicy hot conditions - like many others, I'm especially taken with its directional hardness.
Let's push it through this round of ##MinCup24 💙

Simba is mimicking the mineral kyanite / disthene. The mineral that has different hardnesses depending on the crystallographic orientation
Today at #MinCup24. We are in the semifinals & my favourit is the #DoesItCat #mineral #kyanite/#disthene-the mineral of 2 hardnesses-or in cat-of the 2 softnesses. II the c-axis {001} it has a 5 & perpendicular to it a 7 on the #MohsScale.
Go #TeamKyanite 🐾

Whatever happens, once Rhodochrosite shows up again I will vote against it. No support for kicking out my calcite. Oh, and #TeamKyanite

I like Kyanite for the same reason Kate likes Daisies in You've Got Mail - it's the friendliest mineral. No, I'm not able to elaborate. 😆
Go #TeamKyanite !! #MinCup24

A sign in a rock shop that says Blue Kyanite: Stimulates Confidence; Aids in Intuitive Discernment; Allows for Clear Communication. There's a photo of the stone on the sign too. It's rough blue-sparkly-white.
Dang, just voted and it was within ONE VOTE! #teamkyanite. I bought one a couple weeks ago for communication. It spoke to me. 🤣🤣

Simba is hiding his face because his humans are embarrassing
Today's #MinCup24 duell is #Kyanite /#Disthen Vs. #Ringwoodite. I am for several reasons in #TeamKyanite. One is the famous phase diagram: kyanite, #sillimanite, #andalusite. It's so famous even my humans know it
