#TeamPoison approves of this message
Desperately trying to find some fun facts about #Galena. It is an important ore, and lead is still essential element sustaining civilization.
And Badger State! 🥰
But the negative baggage … 😱😱😱
#TeamPoison or #TeamCopper ? 🤔
#TeamPoison supports #Galena #OreCup
y supongo que sabes a cual escojoere, verdad Melia?

"Copper-rich #dioptase dust is toxic, leading to vomiting and liver or kidney damage if accidentally ingested."
#MinCup25
WELL WELL WELL.
FOLKS, Call to action!
In ANOTHER naked partisan effort to get Dioptase to the top spot, and win the whole thing.
Lets go #MinCup25

Dioptase checks all the boxes and looks stunning while it does so.

In a naked display of partisan bias, todays choice is #dioptase
#teamgreen
#teampoison
#teampretty
Dioptase has it all.
Let's go!
More pics below.
And the "funny" part is that since dioptase dust is toxic, boy did the first people making pigment of it probably SUFFER for their art. 👀
You want that awesome #dioptase colour pigment so much you risk hideous acute reactions. 😬

Both awesome minerals, but as a member of #TeamPoison I have to go with chromium green
#Kosmochlor #MinCup25
It is indeed a cruel decision... might I suggest picking the mineral that is so radioactive that it cannot be kept near humans? The top of the "do not lick" list?
When it comes to the Mineral Cup brackets, I am a simple machine that always picks #TeamPoison
#Cuprosklodowskite #MinCup25
"Cuprosklodowskite is at the very top of the "Do Not Lick" pile for its strong radioactivity that makes it hazardous to store near inhabited areas."
#TeamPoison appreciates your vote for #Cuprosklodowskite #MinCup25

We went from HOT to Tiny in the #MinCup25 R2M8
#Cuptosklodowskite, hard to say, dangerous to hold, gorgeous to look at.
Versus
#mannardite, the tiny quartz inclusion that brings memories of Miyazaki and jet black obsidian (not related)
Tough call, but #teampoison and #teamgreen ought to sort this
I mean, #TeamPoison does have a strong #MinCup presence.
It doesn’t need much help as it’s cruising to a victory, but #Dioptase really does tick all the boxes. Formed in coppery environments, a card-carrying member of #TeamPoison (Don’t lick it!), useful in art & just absolutely gorgeous. It literally means “see through.” It’s a #MinCup25 title contender!
So here is a brief history of me being #teamcopper #teampoison #teamgreen #teamdioptase
#MinCup25
#MinCup24
#MinCup23

Also #TeamGreen, #TeamPoison, and #TeamCopper!

Dioptase is also a vote for Team Poison, as it's toxic. 😏☠️🌪️💀
"Dioptase dust is toxic due to its copper content and accidental ingestion can lead to serious health problems."
To the Waterfalls tune: Don't inhale the toxic stone... 🎶
#MinCup25 #Dioptase #TeamPoison
Gaze at the majesty of our columnar toxic friend
Vote #stibnite #TeamPoison #MinCup25
I love them both but only one is toxic
Vote #stibnite #TeamPoison #MinCup25
The little green guy is radioactive. Let's go #TeamPoison #paddlewheelite #MinCup25
oh noes, this sounds cool but I'm usually #TeamPoison
This is our time #TeamPoison #MinCup25
Penetrative twinned crystals of zunyite coated with a fibrous black particulate. The 2 opposing triangles are growing within each other anf make for a stunning formation of growth where the crystals dont appear to mind that they are growing within each other and maintain their triangle shape. The color is rusty red with black speckles
A single triangle specimin, ruddy red and in high contrast with the green speckled purple material it rests on.
A bottom view of zunyite under flourescense. The red glow is striking across the surface. Deep red and neon red dominates the surface of the specimin.
This is a pryamid of zunyite with several other triangles of zunyite growing inside of it, the centers of the faces of the pryamid all appear to have triangles growing out if their centers.
Zunyite is an aluminum sorosilicate hydroxide fluoride chloride mineral, it is a collector’s stone named for its discovery in the legendary Zuni mines of Co.
Zunyite doesn’t contain many dangerous elements, but it does have high toxicity risk if ingested or swallowed. #Teampoison #teamflouesent
We did it folks! Appreciate the effort.
What a great day!

Just putting it out there for everyone getting into green minerals in #MinCup25 right now:
Cuprosklodowskite is a *gorgeous* candy green, on both #TeamCopper and #TeamPoison, named for the great Maria Skłodowska-Curie, and of course, radioactive.
You know what to do when the time comes.
