Yes! Hooray for #TeamCopper!
#TeamCopper!
YAY Spelled it right this time
#teamcopper #teamgreen
Lets go Copper!
Countless places copper shines
Old artifacts to power lines
Pennies in lemon batteries
Pots and pans to heat with ease
Ethernet, plumbing, jewelry, art
Recycling to a new bright start
#OreCup #MinPoem #TeamCopper
I’ll grant Ilmenite a titanium-iron oxide mineral with idealized formula FeTiO3 some arts points for titanium dioxide white paint but it’s no match for copper’s centuries of blue-green pigments, bronze sculpture & direct use through art history! Vote Copper!
#TeamCopper #OreCup #artHist
I did it! Let's go #TeamCopper!
Nice to see #OreCup maintains the primary feature of #MineralCup, making me make TOUGH choices! I’m #TeamCopper so I win either way, but #Bornite is just so pretty, a true rainbow 🌈 rock, and it was named after Ignaz von Born, which makes me think of Ignatz Mouse! Of such things are votes made/cast.
#TeamCopper is going to make it through this match no matter what, so I'm free to vote for the prettier #Bornite. #OreCup
I love stones. This is where I am

I'm on #TeamCopper. I wrote a nostalgic and geeky song about it, and if we can get it to the next round, that'll be the push I need to record it properly. #OreCup #music
Desperately trying to find some fun facts about #Galena. It is an important ore, and lead is still essential element sustaining civilization.
And Badger State! 🥰
But the negative baggage … 😱😱😱
#TeamPoison or #TeamCopper ? 🤔
#TeamCopper all the way!
#TeamCopper is back, y'all! #OreCup25
WELL WELL WELL.
FOLKS, Call to action!
In ANOTHER naked partisan effort to get Dioptase to the top spot, and win the whole thing.
Lets go #MinCup25

Dioptase checks all the boxes and looks stunning while it does so.

Do I stay true to #TeamCopper or make an exception for a mineral that gets seasonal depression? (I also fade when I've been too long without sunlight.)
#TeamCopper wins either way today! Now to choose...
As ☠️*toxic*☠️ baby dioptase faces against what could be known as its copper cousin, but
True #TeamCopper votes for #Dioptase, dangerous to inhale. 🙏 Cyclosilicate of copper, "It forms on copper veins that have been exposed to extensive oxidation."
Pyroelectric, toxic, beautiful to behold

Also #TeamGreen, #TeamPoison, and #TeamCopper!
#TeamCopper for paddlewheelite! Let's turn #MinCup25 green.
We did it folks! Appreciate the effort.
What a great day!

Hexagonal crystals of dioptase in the beautiful blue green that defines the mineral. This cluster has crystal formation in all directions and is very roughly egg shaped.
This is a much more concentrated formation with many more smaller crystals clustered together. In the center on a upshoot of growth, a large terminated crystal sits on the top. Gorgeous deep green.
Another gorgeous cluster in a rough sphere of large dioptase crystals pointing at all angles. This piece highlights a color shift from a light blue/green to a very deep emerald green and is just stunning.
Free dioptase crystals (7) of various shapes, including a double terminated in the center left. These are gem quality color and shape. Hexagonal crystals with rhomboid terminations.
#Dioptase is a blue-green to emerald-green copper-based mineral that forms in arid regions as a copper sulfide.
It's known for its vibrant color and gem-like qualities, making it popular with mineral collectors. It checks the #teampoison box, the #teamcopper box, and is the best one on the bracket.
I ended up voting for azurite because #TeamCopper, but I can guarantee I'll vote for the green mineral tomorrow. ;)
#MinCup25
#TeamCopper for dioptase, azurite, and cuprosklodowskite! #MinCup25
A sample of light blue kyanite peppered with bits of dark brown biotite.
Even though it's not on #teamcopper, kyanite is one of my favorites, so I'll be stoked if it goes all the way.

Both good choices, but I'm going with #dioptase. It's a #TeamCopper representative, and its birefringence (double-image refraction) appeals to my #TeamCalcite sensibilities. #MinCup24
Oh, no—dioptase is the #TeamCopper representative, but vivianite is just so darn cool. I'm going to need to sleep on this decision. #MinCup24
