It’s a hard-core battle for #MinCup23 Round 1 Match 8:
the industrial sweetheart and standard for Mohs hardness 9 #Corundum grinds against the index mineral for high pressures and low temperatures #Lawsonite. Both are tough, but only one hard rocker can survive this battle!

So, #Lawsonite vs #Corundum, tough call. It should be easy: rubies, sapphires, abrasives, OH MY! Big bad corundum, it sticks out in the crowd! So beautiful! Poor lawsonite doesn't stand a chance.... Well, I'm going to give it love. Ever seen lawsonite in thin section? Check it out below. Have ever seen something so beautiful? A kaleidoscope can't touch this, plus it's valuable scientifically in determining the metamorphic regimes, tectonic, typically. #TeamLawsonite #mincup23
A kaleidoscope of orange, red, yellow, white, deep blue and red, squarish, crystals, flat like a stained glass. Varying sizes and shapes in a beautiful chaotic pattern. But with traces of symmetry definable.
