#MinCup26 Round 1 Match 13 It's a match between a mineral you want to be cautious breathing near and one you eat every day as arsenic-rich #arsenopyrite is against table salt #halite. VOTE: www.mineralcup.org/2026/v…. RESULTS: www.mineralcup.org/2026/v….

Split photo between angular arsenopyrite, metallic and abundant in parallelogram faces and halite in its classic perfect cube shape, but tinted deep blue.

Have you heard of the salt mines in Poland? Entire rooms, with chandeliers!, are carved from salt. There are #statues, #halite #speleothems, #tunnels, and more! #MinCup26 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wie….

Arsenopyrite, ore of arsenic, which is deadly, vs Halite which is salt, which we would die without. I’m voting #Halite! Salt is actually used in art. It can be carved. It makes nifty effects in watercolours. I’m going to share some contemporary art using salt, but first music! #MinCup26

Any other #MinCup26 match, I'd vote #arsenopyrite all the way. BUT this year I visited the #Wieliczka Salt Mines in Poland. And we were explicitly told that it was "okay to lick the walls" if we wanted. So #halite all the way this #MinCup. Yes, these sculptures are made of salt.

Statues made of salt - a servant hands a queen a small box that contains her own engagement ring, according to a Polish legend.

It's #halite for me: great crystal lattice to explain the concept to beginners, very lickable and you can grow your own crystals.

Normally I’m #teampoison, but I truly didn’t realize #halite was such a work of art.

Team #Halite all the way. Those dark blue variations are spectacular, and if you check out the mindat gallery, there's another photo of a human standing beside ginormous halite crystals in a salt cave. And it is the king of seasonings. #Mincup26
