@lesuper.bsky.uyIn order to celebrate #Quartz' victory in #MinCup26 a 3D model is in the making (promised during round 1).
It gets more complex by the unit and failing one connection will make it glass š.
At this point very careful steps are being taken so progress is slow. Hopefully I will finish it on Sunday!

@dorabadger.bsky.socialWhile I'd hoped for different results, I'm pleased to honor the people's decision. #Cuprite's day will come. For now, it's an honor to have fallen to such a worthy foe. #Quartz's long-sought victory is certainly cause for celebration š„³

@crystallised-cricket.comCongrats to #Quartz, the literal bedrock of all minerals on Earth, after 10 years on the campaign trail it has got the #MinCup26 title.
But a bigger congrats and thanks go to the @mineralcup.bsky.social team, for providing the sparkle we all needed to our social media feeds.
@bkania.bsky.socialIf nothing else, a tenacious individual. When I choose to be. Eddie's #MinCup was a dream come true for me. That is why I campaigned fairly rigorously for #Quartz this year especially. #QuartzDeservesThis
I wish to thank anyone and everyone who put up with me. This is part of my #MinCupStory

@schisty.bsky.socialWell, Iām glad #Quartz is out, finally, lol. It is a stupendous mineral, and has a lot of uses, so it did a good job this year.
