Today's #MinCup24 match is difficult: both Rhodochrosite and Turquoise are in the running for the storytelling vote!

However, my vote goes to Rhodochrosite because it reminds me of the German legend of King Laurin's Rose Garden. Laurin was a Dwarf king of the mountains called the Rose Garden, and all of their mineral treasures. That always reminded me of Rhodochrosite (lit. a rose-colored mineral).

For Turquoise legends, see here:

Today's find at the Book Week fair in Budapest: catalog of Moldavian Csángó legend motifs. Including historical and belief legends. Gonna be very useful for storytelling research 😊

Vote for underground rose gardens full of rhodochrosite flowers, and legendary Dwarf kingdoms 😄
