It’s hardly a fresh take, but the #Tigers home unis are just so clean and sharp. Classic look. Classic style.

My wife & I are #Astros fans & pulling for the #Mariners, as we have many friends in the PNW. In fact, my wife, not a sports fan at all, started the 8th inning of G2 actually raising her voice: “Come on Mariners, PROVE SOMETHING!” I had to look over & make sure it was her. So, M’s, over to you now.

I’m here bc I love geology. It tells the story of the planet in particular, and sometimes those of planets in general.

Sorry. More than one line.

It’s a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world! #Kyanite finally crowned champion after nine years in the Mineral Cup, including a second-place finish in #MinCup24!

I’ll call it now, #Tugtupite is going to be tough to beat in #MinCup26!

What a fun #MinCup25! Thanks again to everyone who made it so!

Hark! What’s that we see on the horizon?

Is it something new? Something mostly metallic, quite heavy, and essential to society? It’s an all-new collaboration with IMA!

Ore Cup: www.mineralcup.org/about-ore-cup

Voting starts Monday November 3. Winner crowned IMA Ore Mineral of the Year

And that’s time!

But, uh, who’s the winner?

With a surge of hundreds of votes in the final moments, our host is throttling access to the data we need to perform audits. It’s going to be at least a few hours. 🙃

No matter which mineral is crowned champion in Mineral Cup, the real winners are all of us as this is such a fun, silly welcome and educational time for all. Huge thanks to @mikamckinnon.bsky.social and everyone else who make Mineral Cup a reality. Y'all rock (and not just in a pun way)! #MinCup25

As the final of #MinCup25 draws to a close - can you all join me in a round of applause and thanks to @mikamckinnon.bsky.social and team behind the comp - a most welcome and edifying distraction. Long may #MinCup continue 👏 👏👏👏👏

The Astronomy Picture of the Day getting in on the #MinCup25 Finals act. The Witch's Broom Nebula looks very much like... #Kyanite! (No other subjective interpretations will be entertained.) From deep space to your voting fingertips, #Kyanite is the mineral of destiny, and a deserving 2025 champion!

Mika works hard! Hopefully there'll be no ballot-stuffing, and a nice clean and easy process, followed by a wonderful beverage of choice! Maybe two. #MinCup25

I just this to my good friends in Seattle: “Since it's sort of blue-green at times, a vote for #Kyanite is kind of a vote for the Seattle Mariners. So really, do what you have to do.”

(I mean, I just did.)

La cianita. Un mineral generalmente azulado que es PRECIOSO.

Pasó esa ronda, pero ahora va media docena de votos por detrás.

ME HACÉIS EL FAVOR DE VOTAR "KYANITE". Gracies.

It's the 1st of October. Halloween is just around the corner. Vote kyanite because sometimes it comes in black which makes it look spooky! #MinCup25 #minerals

Holy shamoley! Over 2,000 votes cast so far and with three hours to go, the margin is only 10 votes. You can cut the tension with a #Kyanite blade! Let’s go Big Blue! Bring it home for the longtime Mineral Cup veteran. The #MinCup25 championship is there for #TeamBlue with a strong finish!

The Blues is more than just music. It tells of life under pressure (like #Kyanite). It’s resistant bc it’s rough (like #Kyanite), a teller of historical truths (like #Kyanite) & texturally colorful (like #Kyanite)! How would B.B. King, the King of the Blues himself, vote? Obv for Kyanite! #MinCup25

One warning: When you enlist others to vote, you never know what will happen. I just tried to recruit my son to vote #Kyanite with me. It’s blue. His fave color is blue. I describe anisotropic to him. I think, “OK then.”

He reads over the descriptions, and says he’s now for #Tugtupite. 😐 #MinCup25

My first post on Bluesky only got one like 😢 but I’m still always looking for rocks, and people that love them. Thank goodness there are always plenty here. Especially every September!

Thank you @MineralCup.bsky.social for all the minerals and fun!
