A black and white graphite pencil drawing of a pied wagtail. The bird is shown from the right side, but its head is turned back to face the other way. The bird has white head but with a dark black crown and dark black throat. Its breast is white and the wings are black and white patterned. It is standing on the edge of a stone birdbath, with one leg in the air as if about to step forward. The background is a mottled toned grey.

Pyromorphite is sometimes an ore of lead & lead has been used in pigments since antiquity. Now sold as a resin art pigment.

But #Graphite itself has been used in art since antiquity. It’s made a huge impact on art history! It also handily wins the physics vote. So vote Graphite! #MinCup

Via The Met
 
A sturdy looking woman stands by the shore arms akimbo, holding a basket, wearing a blue skirt, white shirt and red neckerchief with her white apron blowing in the wind. She looks right toward a rowboat full of men. Behind her is a sailboat. The sky is threatening and they look like they are seeking shelter behind the sandbar.

“The grand master of urban entertainments, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec made many paintings and drawings on the circus theme in the late 1880s and 1890s, just as his popularity as a commercial artist soared. Fin-de-siècle Paris hosted an assortment of professional circuses, and Lautrec frequented them all. He was personally drawn to circus performers-those colorful equestrians, animal trainers, clowns and acrobats on society's "fringes." It was while undergoing treatment for alcoholism at a sanitarium on the outskirts of Paris in 1899 that Lautrec produced an ambitious group of crayon/chalk drawings of circus figures. These imaginative sketches were drawn entirely from memory, without recourse to preliminary studies. The Lehman horse and rider perform the "pas espagnol", the ambling gait formalized by the Spanish Riding School of Vienna. It was thanks to these circus drawings that Lautrec earned his release from the sanitarium-their impressive handling convinced doctors of his improving health. As Lautrec left the clinic, he is said to have remarked, "I've bought my release with my drawings." “

Via The Met 

The drawing shows dancing circus horse and rider in the ring with shadow with two men watching.

Think #graphite has to take this one in #mincup26 it just has such a cool crystal structure.

#MinCup26 Quarterfinal 4
We're coming down the end! Are you supporting lead-locking #pyromorphite or ancient #graphite as we enter the semifinals.

VOTE: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re...

Split view of blobby peach-tinted pyromorphite shining as though wet, and dark grey graphite with its signature greasy sheen sitting on paper marked with pencil-like scribbles.

#Graphite aka black lead or plumbago has been mined for 100s of years, but the discovery that it is made up of 2D sheets of graphene is really recent
Graphene was only theorised in 1947 and isolated, using adhesive tape (!) In 2004. (See the Wikipedia entry) vote #graphite in #MinCup26

Model of 2D sheet of graphene consisting of linked rings of carbon atoms

Selfishly, I’m cheering for #graphite because I want to write about it more.

I picked Ur-minerals over spirals this round, but that just leaves my fingers itchy! 😂

Thinking back what could I have done better, at Russell’s Cornner’s.

@louisedawe.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 2:15 AM

I’m voting #Graphite in this #MinCup26 round! Trömel compares graphite with graphene and asks what their unusually close-packed carbon atoms reveal about the rigidity of their layers. A thought-provoking read in @actacrystb.iucr.org (article in German): journals.iucr.org/paper?sn0042=

@reservatory.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 1:20 AM

Maybe I'll vote for a winner this time 😭
Go #graphite, go!
