#MinCup24 R1M10: #Mellite versus #Omphacite

It’s story the surface versus depths as newcomers Mellite and Omphacite join Mineral Cup.

Two minerals with very different and unique origin stories; crustal inorganic processes versus deep tectonic forces. Which story will you choose?

So tough, an organic mineral competing against a major rock-forming mineral. Shout out to humble #Mellite, formed of octahedral organic molecules associated with brown coal deposits.

Mellite, also known as honeystone, is a rare organic mineral formed from fossilised plants.

It can be crystalline or amorphous, and it's easily scratched, because it's no harder than synthetic plastic. Technically, it's an organometallic compound, aluminium benzenehexacarboxylate hexadecahydrate.

All the geologists seem very enamoured with omphacite, but mellite gets my #MinCup24 vote for how unusual it is!

Imma pick Omphacite.

It has more oomph.

Amorphous mellite looks like cloudy honey! It's found in the same places as lignite, aka brown coal, which is usually formed from compressed peat. Lignite is also an organic mineral, and it's sometimes cut and polished into the gemstone, jet (as in jet black).

Mellite is a fairly rare organic mineral that forms as a secondary mineral. Organic minerals aren’t all that common, and they don’t always look very spectacular.

But they’re the minerals closest to us :-)!

I had to look up both of these...

Going with mellite today, because it's rare to see organics in #MinCup match-ups.

contrary to the source shard, mellite probably just sends full-on hole pics to her beau
July 17, 2026 at 12:37 AM

Sorry to those who tried to argue me in the other direction but Mellite gets my vote today because it made me hungry for honey

It's just how my brain works today 🤷

New drawing of two more of the cerinian ladies

Jette (Red Jet) and Melli (Mellite) enjoying the sight that Helio fell asleep at Jette's feet. They're pretty happy that Krystal told him to be a good boy for her friends~

I am learning so much from #MinCup24! I never would have guessed how some minerals can form through biological processes, or the convoluted journeys that some minerals take to become what they are.

Looking forward to the punters swaying me one way or the other on today's vote!

there's no story bit to this i just wanted to pose mellite giving wuk lamat a rimjob

#Mellite & #Ompjacite get their names from the Greek for honey & unripe grapes, respectively. Both are found in jewelry for my art vote #MinCup24

Omphacite is appealing to the marine geophysicist/tectonophysicist in me with its high pressure subducted oceanic crust story & wins my physics vote.

Here’s a FOURTH polymorph, Mullite, the most refractory form of #Kyanite Al4+2xSi2-2xO10-x. It puuurple.

If Moo Feng were a mineral, which one would she be?
