I maintain that this is a rude matchup. Ruuuuude. I'm gonna delay my vote til morning - someone poke me in like 10 hours or something - but also I need a cute bit of #wavellite for reasons of "gimme rocks pls thx".

#Dioptase vs #wavellite is not fair this early in the bracket 💀

But 👀👀 that's a whole lot of minerals I'm not familiar with this year! Time to get started on doing some looking up and picking my faves - and deciding what merits I'm voting on this year. 🤣🤣

Congratulations, #Dioptase Your exotic desert beauty and rich emerald green have clinched the win. Farewell #Wavellite. We await the return of the charming kiwi mineral next year.

As of this round of the #mincup24 vote, I chose #Dioptase over #Wavellite  since I own more specimens (obviously, I bought more because I loved it more, for the emerald color and its variety of localities).
