#MinCup24 R5M1: #Rhodochrosite versus #Kyanite

Rhodochrosite, also known as Rosa del Inca and Raspberry Spar is a distinctive pink-to-red carbonate that is a mix of utility and charm. Kyanite, while famous for being blue, can be a wide variety of colours, often zoned and sometimes pleochroic.

Congratulations, #Rhodochrosite. Your blush won us over. Farewell #Perovskite. Next year may find less resistance.

#MinCup24 R4M1: #Perovskite versus #Rhodochrosite

Perovskite has a flair for high-profile environments, found in the rain in brown dwarf stars, in volcanic fumaroles, and in kimberlite pipes rocketing from mantle to crust. Rhodochrosite’s crystals can be the palest blush to the darkest blood red, and can form rhombohedral and scalenohedral crystals, rosettes, blades, and massive and botryoidal crystals

I'm so happy to see that #rhodochrosite is leading as of now. This has been my son's favorite mineral since his preschool days, when I would take him to the Gem and Mineral Hall at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. Twenty years later, and he's still psyched that rhodochrosite was an entry in the bracket! 💕
