Don't be swayed by #Cuprite's pretty looks; #Halite can be just as beautiful and is essential to life. Besides, imagine chips, crisps, or indeed any meal without salt. You've got just under 3 and a half hours to vote: don't delay!

As far as we know, only one of these #MinCup26 contenders has been the subject of recent viral social media, and it gets our vote for inspiring so much interest in world history (and mineralogy too). #Halite! www.instagram.com/reel/Dan1tCe...

Red is highly overrated.

It has to be #halite for #MinCup26 !

You can make a laser out of salt droplets - place them on a superhydrophobic surface and the droplets are round and stable, making good laser cavities.

Fig. 1 of the linked paper, showing the experimental setup, along with the broad-spectrum glow of the droplet, and the narrow spike of the laser spectrum. In the experimental setup you'll note that it took two lasers (a green one and an infrared one) to get red laser light out of the salt droplet.

That said, #StaySalty and vote #halite for #Mincup26 semi-final! www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re...

@kionasmith07.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 2:26 PM

How are we on #MinCup26 semi-finals ALREADY? I voted #Halite, but I've also been team #Cuprite up to this point and won't be sad about either outcome.

Come on #TeamHalite! Time for an all-out a-salt! #StaySalty #MinCup26

@minouette.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 1:25 PM

Either could claim my art vote but of the two #Halite gets my physics vote. Plus it’s hard to quibble with being a necessity of life. It’s in blood, sweat and tears - and the sea!

And then, there’s revenge for Orpiment.

So I’m voting Halite! #MinCup26 #sciart

My “Blood, Sweat and Tears” lino block print is about how we as people reflect our origins in the ocean. Printed from 8 hand-carved blocks it shows blood cells racing through an artery (top left square), a cross-section of our skin with a sweat gland (middle left square), an eye with a tear (bottom left square) and a section of ocean seawater (vertical rectangle, right side, full height). Halite NaCl is part of all of the above.

Cuprite is used as a red pigment in glass, artificial gems, enamels, & ceramics. Colour can range from blood red to purple/brown in a reducing atmosphere & change to green in an oxidizing kiln. Halite is part of us, used in art: carving, watercolour effects, installations & EM geophysics. #MinCup26
