Copper fans, we did it! Copper is the very FIRST Ore Cup Champion & the Ore Mineral of the Year. Great job! 🙌
Thank you, Mineral Cup team. The content has been extra excellent, & another great Cup. Kudos! 290 days until #MinCup26 !

Interesting mineral, especially the Mars rover angle. Might have to nominate it for #MinCup26.
Have minerals you want to see run in #MinCup26? The nomination form is open! www.mineralcup.org/nominations
It’s a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world! #Kyanite finally crowned champion after nine years in the Mineral Cup, including a second-place finish in #MinCup24!
I’ll call it now, #Tugtupite is going to be tough to beat in #MinCup26!
What a fun #MinCup25! Thanks again to everyone who made it so!
I see. Then we shall meet on the field of battle called #MinCup26 !
Until then I shall now hone my knowledge of minerals - it was definitely lacking this time.
Yaaay for #Kyanite !
You still should've lost to #Hematite 😤 I will bear that grudge until #MinCup26
If you like #Perovskite make it a champion and let it shine in #MinCup25.
If you don't like it that much make it a champion and enjoy #MinCup26 and more without it.
It is easy, one way or another #VotePerovskite 😉

Hematite victorious in its quarterfinal.
I love you blue #Hauyne and look forward to voting for you again in #MinCup26, but very happy for the triumph of #Hematite in this round of #MinCup25.
Boy, is this ever Heartbreak City. I mean, #Haüyne is a blue beauty, but #Hematite has been my favorite since I was a kid here on Earth, while it was also turning Mars red. How can I say no to that? See ya in #MinCup26 haüyne, as I’m pushing hard for hematite in #MinCup25! (Alt text for more.)
I know #calcite is out now for this year, but his point stands (and hopefully calcite will be back next year). #MinCup25 #MinCup26
#Calcite with 1378 votes got more than the three previous winners #Pectolite (930), #Stibnite (1054), and #Haüyne (720) and I bet it will still be the case by the end of the first round.
That is why #Calcite should enter #MinCup26.
It was the most nerve-wrecking victory for #Perovskite I have lived through since #MinCup22.
Well played #Calcite. We will push to snug you in #MinCup26 for having the most votes (so far more than 3 winners) despite loosing on the first round.
#Perovskite for the championship.
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
In the end, I looked deep into the darkness & had to say yes to #Stibnite. I look forward to #Okenite doing well in #MinCup26, but for #MinCup25 I’m Team Darkness. Also, eyeing the posts, there’s clearly A Love Supreme among supporters for the Kohl Train.
