So soft (Mohs 4) yet so very very dangerous (PLS NO LICKING)--my heart & my vote go to #Cuprosklodowskite, especially given its (mistaken but still kick-ass) namesake Marie Sklodowski Curie! #Mincup25

You wanna see dioptase do something else that's cool?
We haven't much had geode or "hummocky" samples yet, but how weird-cool is that, too? Other things dissolve, only dioptase is left.
Please vote!

This match decides our last #MunCup25 semi-finalist. Sparkly #Dioptase currently holds a 6% lead over #Cuprosklodowskite.
With almost 5 hours left on the clock, you still have time to campaign, recruit, and sway the vote!

Of *course* I am Team #Cuprosklodowskite!
☢️ uranium-bearing mineral, named for Maria Salomea Skłodowska later known as multiple-Nobel-laureate Marie Curie.
With 7 hours left to go, both wonderful minerals have received only ⅕ of the total votes as Friday's quarterfinal. Go vote! #MinCup25

#Cuprosklodowskite looks exactly like you'd expect a radioactive mineral to look: bright green and vaguely unsettling.

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

Try saying #cuprosklodowskite three times fast. We tried—it’s hard. But voting for it to make the #MinCup25 semifinals wasn’t!

There is talk of "black dioptase"...
... but diopside is probably what the ring is.
Just throwing in a bit of colour variation after running into that. Please vote for toxic #Dioptase & click through to the # to read more about it!

I have to admit, I was torn between #Dioptase and #Cuprosklodowskite and then I saw this pic, and was like, "Whoa."
Also, pyroelectricity? It emits an electric charge when heated up? What??? Yes, please. Vote Dioptase in #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."

We gotta go #cuprosklodowskite in this round.
-The name goes hard.
-Those green spikes somehow go even harder?
-Namesake Marie Skłodowska Curie—whose journals are literally so radioactive that they're still stored in lead boxes—goes hardest of all.

My choice today is #cuprosklodowskite! Why?
Because it is a part of one of the biggest family of minerals (where N=3*).
At this moment geologists are saying "wuuut?"
Family in family sense - three minerals after 4 members of a family: sklodowskite (and derivatives), curite and joliotite.

I voted for #Cuprosklodowskite not least because it’s a spiky, poisonous, radioactive rogue who’s mad, bad & dangerous to know. But I think the main reason I love it is that, like so many Mineral Cup entries, I had never heard of it before & now have an intense emotional attachment to it. #MinCup25

10 samples of radioactive minerals on public display. They range in color from brown to greenish to bright yellow.
Either #mannardite has no votes or the results are glitchy :(
I don't have either #cuprosklodowskite or mannardite, but I do have the #radioactive minerals display from the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History!

I'm voting for #Cuprosklodowskite for the same reason as last time. It looks like a hazard in a video game. Come to think of it, since my poor sweet #Paddlewheelite fell, I'm #TEAMCuprosklodowskite!!!

#MinCup25 Round 2 Match 8 - ☢️ #Cuprosklodowskite vs 🖤 #Mannardite. A bright green uranium silicate named to honour Marie Sklodowska Curie vs the jet black barium-titanium-vanadium oxide.

Something is fishy here. #Mannardite votes are not being counted (or not being reported, more likely), and the Results summary page says the vote is between #Cuprosklodowskite and #paddlewheelite. Maybe my vote for mannardite is read as a vote for paddlewheelite? I told the #MinCup25 admins.

Goth black #Mannardite has form v green radioactive foes, winning by one vote over paddlewheelite in R1. Yet, it’s met its match in needle-sharp, radioactive cutie-pie #Cuprosklodowskite, which is set to skewer. Named for Marie Skłodowska Curie, the spiky, glowy Scrabble champ has my vote! #MinCup25
