Rhodochrosite is this year’s champion for its stunning appearance, valuable ore, and most importantly, for reminding us how much social circles influence voting decisions. As we head into election season in several countries around the world, remember that your voice and your vote matter. #MinCup24 👇🏼
Rhodochrosite first competed in Mineral Cup in 2021, where it promptly lost (very badly!) to to bright green carbonate Malachite during its very first match. Defeated, it sat out 2022, before getting a second chance to start over in 2023, where it had a solid run before being defeated by Perovskite in the Quarterfinals. This year, it took vengeance during a Semifinals rematch against Perovskite, then handily defeated Kyanite to take the 2024 Championship. 🧵 continued in replies
