#Halite centered on this shelf of a mineral display. A cluster of light pink halite crystals accompanies two large crystals, one of which is clear while the other transitions from clear to black. #MinCup26 contender #sphalerite to the right.

Portion of a vitrine with glass shelves and mineral specimens. These include potassium feldspar, hornblende, fluorite, gypsum, sphalerite, galena, and muscovite. Description says: 

"Minerals
Minerals are naturally occurring solids with definite chemical compositions and highly ordered internal structure. Minerals are crystalline and they grow as trillions of atoms connect in regular, three-dimensional patterns. Each crystal starts small and grows as more atoms are added.

Crystals grow from water rich in dissolved minerals, from melted rock, and even vapor. Under the influence of different temperatures and pressures, atoms combine in seemingly endless crystal variations. There are over 4,000 officially recognized mineral species and as many as a hundred new ones are described each year. - www.mnh.si.edu


(Illustration of crystal atomic arrangement)
This model represents a unit cell of Halite (NaCI). Note that the sodium (purple) and chlorine (orange) ions in the model form cubes and the halite crystals are also cubes. The shape of a well formed crystal is the shape of the unit cell of that mineral."

#Mincup26 #Sphalerite ⬇️‼️

So does #FossilFriday have any #Thoughts or musings for the #MinCup26 #QuarterQuells match up between #Sphalerite & #Cuprite hmmmm❓️inquiring minds do wish to know. @mineralcup.bsky.social

@bkania.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 7:45 PM

#Sphalerite for great under ##Pressure

@bkania.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 6:22 PM

I held my nose and voted for #Sphalerite Some very compelling reasons were presented. It wasn't easy, by any means. #MinCup26 👃😋

@clairecopperman.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 5:52 PM

This could be the closest round yet in #MinCup26: atm there's just one vote in it. I'm Team #Cuprite for its use in art and for introducing me to the word pleochroic - changing colour depending on the angle. Besides, do you really want #Sphalerite's smell of rotten eggs?

@bkania.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 4:06 PM

#MinCup26 it's neck and neck. 8 hrs left. I just voted for #Sphalerite #TeamSpalerite

They are both beautiful, and #sphalerite has that gemmy look. But I am #teamcopper from long back... thinking that I am leaning that way

@bkania.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 3:56 PM

@mineralcup.bsky.social this was the statement that won my #vote for #Sphalerite for this round in the #QuarterQuells #MinCup26 well done👏

@bkania.bsky.socialSep 25, 2026, 3:40 PM

I believe we have a #Winner for this round in #Mincup26 Although I'm not fond of the pungent smell of rotten eggs. I am wowed by #Sphalerite s ability to hold it together under #Pressure and that says a lot because I do love me some #Sparkly 😍

I like them both and they’re both gingers so, Sphalerite it is because it’s more fun to say out loud 😆

The #QuarterQuells of #MinCup26 begin. I have no particular #Tribute that I am pulling for at this moment. Whom shall I #Vote for? #HungerGames #SciFi
#Sphalerite or #Cuperite This match up should be 🔥

Cuprite is only “rarely used as a copper ore,” so I voted #Sphalerite for the 🎺🎺🎺
