So into round 2 of #MinCup26 and I'm going to keep with my 'what's the more interesting crystal structure' criteria. I have always had a thing for 3-fold symmetry so am a sucker for the trigonal carbonate groups - #Azurite gets my vote over #Sphalerite today.
An image of the crystal structure of Azurite - red sphere represent oxygen atoms, brown spheres carbon atoms, blue spheres/polygons represent copper atoms and pink atoms represent hydrogen atoms. The representation is drawn in VESTA from #8598 in the American mineralogist database.
Image of the crystal structure of Sphalerite - here yellow sphere represent sulfur atoms and grey spheres/polygons represent zinc. The structure is viewed off the principle axes so that the repeats can be seen and is drawn in VESTA from #110 in the American mineralogist database

#MinCup26 Round 2 Match 1: It’s a visually-striking start to Round 2 as deep blue pigment #Azurite is against lead- and zinc-rich #Sphalerite. VOTE: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re... RESULTS: www.mineralcup.org/2026/vote-re...
Split photo with deep blue translucent crystals jut upwards in a cluster like modern skyscrapers on the left. They have lightly striated faces, and are long with pointed tips. On the right is a metallic grey triangular crystal with deeply striated faces. The face itself is geometrically broken with jagged edges, evoking a cyberpunk-futuristic vibe.

So I am very fond of Sphalerite....have some. But if one just looks at my #Avatar One would know... #Azurite is my choice here in #Mincup26 2nd bracket round 1 From my personal collection #Azurite Septarian Nodule Robzovsk Mine Altar Russia

Ok, team #Azurite, it is time to close the gap and win this round! For the rabbits! Medieval rabbits. Medieval killer rabbits, to be precise. Do you know that mineral was used for blue pigment to paint the shield? Yep, azurite!* *most probably.
