Sad for #putnisite - but better it lost fairly

After removing bot net contamination, despite a smaller margin the results stand with #Julienite continuing to #MinCup26 round 3 over #Putnisite.

Have faith in your mineral. It doesn’t need cheating to win.

When your #MinCup26 meme trail is tragically cut short... Farewell #putnisite!

These two are both so beautiful, but we’re choosing #putnisite today—how intriguing that it’s “utterly unrelated to any known mineral or synthetic compound”! 🤔 #MinCup26

I still didn't get over Julianite kicking out calcite, so #Putnisite it is.

A tough decision in #MinCup26 today, as they're both so pretty. Do you go Julienite with the tragic backstory, or Putnisite, discovered on Polar Bear Peninsula (because Australia is famed for its polar bears) and is "utterly unrelated to any known mineral or synthetic compound"?
I'm team #Putnisite

Voting for #putnisite in #MinCup26🧪⚒️ because:
* awesome colour
* unique chemistry
* discovery locality is in the middle of arid salt lake in 🇦🇺, so, inevitably, it is named for a polar bear because it kinda looks like one... (image attached, decide for yourself, then vote #putnisite)

Well, yes. That was painful.

The linked photo of Henri Julien is so touching. And 33 years odd such a short life. I can’t help but wonder if it might have been tuberculosis.

Still, pleochroism. I voted for #Putnisite
