Vote in Round 2 Match 4 — Mineral Cup

If you thought last round featured some hard battles, we were just getting started! But being the standard for Mohs Hardness only scratches the surface of the ways these gorgeous gems are valued every day. Who wins in the battle of beauty and brawn between Topaz (Mohs 8) and Corundum (Mohs 9)?

Mineral Cup

Today I have no choice but to be in #TeamCorundum in the #MinCup23 duel #Corundum vs #Lawsonite. Apparently one of the humans loves #sapphire very much. Picture taken during evening #hike/#hedgewatch on #LaGomera
