If you notice any streamers or viral moments for the #MinCup26 finals, please let me know.

We have stuffing going on and it’ll help ensure I don’t waste time investigating legit surges.

Shocked #Quartz is one piece of evidence that helps identify large impact areas, like the one left by Chicxulub asteroid. The quartz crystals develop a series of parallel laminae, called shock lamellae that indicate deformation, or breakage of the crystal along multiple, parallel planes.

Hard choice again in #mincup26 finals, but I'm in for #Bergkristall (or #Quartz).
Apart from its usefulness for time keeping its use in decorative goblets in the 16th century is fascinating mastery!

There has been a lot of talk about piezoelectricity in the match, but little about exposure dating. Vote #quartz in #MinCup26 for the O2 atoms in the quartz crystal structure & the predictable way they are converted into beryllium isotopes when exposed to the Universe and not inside a mountain.
