Oh no! Looks like #TeamTopaz just managed to mobilize their fans last minute. But it was so close! Next year though...

#TeamTopaz!! Though I must acknowledge that Spodumene is an amusing word.
#MinCup24 R1 M16: #Topaz versus #Spodumene
In a battle of the biggest stones, these minerals are ready to rumble.
Topaz forms some of the largest gemstone crystals in the world, specimens weighing more than a teenager. The largest crystal of Spodumene ever found is the size of a Right Whale.

Purple is my favourite colour, but #Topaz is an old friend of mine.
(I also feel at least a little bit like I owe it to a member of my old System to vote for his birthstone.)

#MinCup24 R2M8: #Charoite versus #Topaz
Chaorite is an intensely purple mineral with a fibrous, swirly pattern that’s been compared to Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
Topaz is a hard, many-hued gemstone that crystallizes along the fractures in igneous rock, and is mined all over the world.

@zekrec.bsky.social Now I hate to contradict @mineralcup.bsky.social but it’s never a wise move to vote in hasty revenge mode! Give beautiful #Topaz a chance. I, too, was crushed when Goethite lost to #Topaz, but don’t be bullied by the hardness of Corundum! Go for #TeamTopaz! #VoteTopaz #MinCup23

I have a topaz ring that was my grandmother’s - it’s in a really awful setting and it’s so big it’s basically unwearable (the ring just flops over any time you move your hand) so no one else wanted it when she died and I did *because* it’s just such a bonkers ring, so anyway, #TeamTopaz. #MinCup24
