Today's #MinUp23 duel between #Mercury & #Sepiolite makes a decision difficult. Am I in #TeamKittyLitter or in #TeamSuperConductivity.
Since I can go faster than light I vote today for team #quicksilver. In my opinion both #minerals fulfill the #DoesItCat criterion

Todays #Mincup23 duel is #Zircon vs #Kaolinite. I voted for both earlier. Very difficult... I am afraid I must vote for Zircon the sturdy #mineral being impawtent in #geochonology and showing #chatoyancy the #cat's eye effect.

This #MinCup23 duel is easy for me. Tick-tock, tick-tock the #quartz as oscillating #crystal in my humans watch makes sure that #breakfast 1, 2,..., n, #dinner 1, 2,..., n & #supper 1, 2,..., n are served in time.

Today I decided to be in #TeamPerovskite, or is it #TeamPerovsKitty (I think the latter is correct!), because #Perovskite's are impawtent #minerals in #solarpanel development. Me & my home are partly #solar powered (see figs).

Today in #MinCup23 we are in #TeamKyanite. Not only because it shows up in one of the very few #phasediagram's my humans know, but we also learned from #Wikipedia that is used to produce #refractorymaterials.

Today I didn't not know the competitors, #Adamite & #Ammineite, of the #MinCup2023 duel. But I vote for Adamite because according to Strunz #mineral classification it belongs to the waterfree phosphates & for most #cat's waterfree is a strong argument😹
