Mm I have been apparently Sleeping Wrong according to my neck and head (hypermobility problems 😩) so I'm slow on judging the chaos of #adamite vs #ammineite!

On the one hand, adamite is an arsenate mineral - fun, but deadly. (Also apparently a term for a certain type of nudist. 😅)

But ammineite is hella weird and neat and was the first scientifically recognized mineral of its family - and now there are Four Other ammine-based minerals, too! That's pretty chaotic, really. #MinCup23

This round of #MinCup23 is close! As of 09/10/2023 19:15:37 GMT, #Adamite is leading #Ammineite by 1 VOTE, and it’s likely to flip again within minutes.

We’ve hovered near a tie long enough to send the admins diving into code to check & recheck tallies & charts and into site traffic to monitor potential ballot-stuffing, but the tie is real!

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😹
#DoesItCat? Yes
