@mexporg.bsky.socialThe common rock salt #Halite has many interesting features, not just taste. Check our mineral overview for more details and photos:

@naturaelapides.bsky.socialI must admit that #TeamPoison has some strong arguments. So here’s a bit of support for this sulphide, my favourite mineral family.
A little photo from the Naturae Lapides collection.
@naturaelapides.bsky.socialA little support for the first candidate, who doesn’t really need it, with two examples from the collection.

白とゴールドの輝きを見つめていたら、大ちゃんが「夏の夜に食べるのにピッタリ」と仰っていたパイナップルとココナッツのジェラーティを思い出した🍍🥥

@naturaelapides.bsky.socialBye bye, pyrrhotite. I’m starting to think I’m a jinx for every mineral I support.
I’m not saying another word, especially when it comes to a sulphide versus halide showdown. Vote for ArsenoHalite!
@naturaelapides.bsky.socialUnlike the aloof cylindrite, pyrrhotite gets on well with its friends pyrite and sphalerite.
In this photo, they’re cheering up a calcite sphere that can’t get over being eliminated.
@mexporg.bsky.socialExcellent #Pyrrhotite crystal from the tungsten mine in the Felbertal, Hohe Tauern, Austria.

@naturaelapides.bsky.socialHow could the elegant Pyrrhotite possibly lose to a blackish mineral shaped like fish sticks?
I’m still reeling from Calcite’s defeat – don’t push me too far.
@naturaelapides.bsky.socialIt’s the home stretch, #TeamCalcite!
Vote for #Calcite, the only one to produce such a variety of wonders as this delicate little sphere!
@mexporg.bsky.social#Calcite is very often UV-sensitive, resulting in various hues of red, pink, orange, and yellow.
This example is from Pohled Quarry, Czech Republic - lit by long-wave 365 nm UV.

@catwithgeologists.bsky.socialToday it's #Calcite against the extremely rare #mineral #Julienite at #MinCup26😻 We vote for calcite in memory of Ornella 🌈 who voted for calcite because of its use as #compass 😻 due to its high birefringence😻
@mexporg.bsky.socialThere is just too much to say about #Calcite and its numerous varieties - just check our comprehensive overview:
