top-10 #GLOF in terms of both numbers.

Yes, yes Quartz is beautiful and you can vote for it for nostalgic #FirstMineralYouEverKnew and all BUT don't you wanna see Cinnabar fight against its own origin story self #Mercury in the finals??? #voteCinnabar #TeamCinnabar #ToxicWins
It’s #MinCup23 Round 1 Match 2!
It’s heavy-hitters #Cinnabar v #Quartz. We know you love them both, but you need to decide. One moves to Round 2. The other is eliminated, never to be seen in #MinCup again (unless it wins a future play-in round).
VOTE! www.mineralcup.org/2023/campaig...

Though #moissanite is super pretty, I will not vote based on beauty this year. Therefore, I choose, the very useful #Kaolinite!
We have a bracket!!
#MinCup23 is coming fast and we’re scrambling to get ready. Our website has this year’s mineral list, starting bracket, and even a test vote if you want to warm up your polling muscles: mineralcup.org/

Visited the symphony of stones in Armenia last week. Was very cool! I could not recommend a trip to Georgia and Armenia more! Beautiful countries (really warm though!)
