A pegmatite is an #igneousRock showing a very coarse #texture, with large interlocking #crystals usually greater in size than 1 cm (0.4 in) and sometimes greater than 1 meter (3 ft). Most pegmatites are composed of #quartz, #feldspar, and #mica, having a similar #silicic composition to #granite. However, rarer #intermediateComposition and #mafic pegmatites are known. Many of the world's largest crystals are found within pegmatites. These include crystals of #microcline, quartz, mica, #spodumene.

It was a very close match but congratulations to #Topaz and commiserations to #Spodumene.

The Greenbushes mine also produces ~50% of the world’s tantalum, another oddball element which will also be in your device as capacitors.

If you think it’s cool to think that minerals that made your smartphone have been here for half the age of the Earth then vote #spodumene. /4

Vote #Spodumene for #MinCup24 ⚒️🧪 because many of you will be reading this on a device powered by lithium and there’s a good chance some of that lithium came from spodumene at the Greenbushes Mine in Western Australia. /1

#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, famous specimens weighing more than a teenager. The largest crystal of Spodumene ever found is the size of a Right Whale.

Which one will you choose?
