(Edit: King of #Fluorescent #Minerals #Tugtupite, if possible! ONLY TOMORROW & IF it goes to the finale. Newcomer can try next year, too! Dioptase before a first timer!)

Anyone can vote and there's been a jump from a 50 vote difference with 853 to 900 to 942-943 just now - so it's all about getting as many new voters in as possible. 3 hours to #vote!
#Piezoelectric #pizza rock Tugtupite is the favourite mineral of #pugs & #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles, so you make #doggo sad if you don't vote for the #beryllium #aluminium tectosilicate #gemstone. Turtle power!

At our most recent protest outside the #Chinese embassy in #WashingtonDC, we learned about the problem of forced labor in the #mining industry. East Turkistan (a.k.a. #Xinjiang) is a source of #titanium, #lithium, #beryllium, and #magnesium. Of particular concern is beryllium, for which East Turkistan is China's top source. For more information, read either of the following articles.

🦷 New track "ESQUILLE" / June 2025 🦷
By the way, a new track is available on AFFLICTION VA released by @berylliumproject
It is based on a regular 4/4 kick on it (almost !). Definitely not used to do this but it felt natural...
There are some other really nice tracks on the compilation, so if you like doomy industrial technoïde stuff, help yourself

Anomaly in the deep sea – Extraordinary accumulation of the rare radioactive isotope #Beryllium-10 produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere could improve geological #dating methods, as researchers from #HZDR, @tudresden and #ANU report:

Beryllium-10, a rare radioactive isotope produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, provides valuable insights into the Earth's geological history. A research team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), in collaboration with the TUD Dresden University of Technology and the Australian National University (ANU), has discovered an unexpected accumulation of this isotope in samples taken from the Pacific seabed. Such an anomaly may be attributed to shifts in ocean currents or astrophysical events that occurred approximately 10 million years ago. The findings hold the potential to serve as a global time marker, representing a promising advancement in the dating of geological archives spanning millions of years. The team presents its results in the scientific journal Nature Communications (DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-55662-4).
Die #NATO hat eine Liste mit den 12 verteidigungskritischen Rohstoffen heraus gegeben. Soweit ich das sehe sind die Rohstoffe gelistet nach der Wehrwichtigkeit und nicht nach dem Versorgungsrisiko, sonst würde mich der erste Platz mit #Aluminium überraschen. Weniger überraschend sind auf jeden Fall die weiteren Rohstoffe wie #Beryllium, #Cobalt, #Gallium, #Germanium, #Graphite, #Lithium, #Manganese, #Platinum, #REE, #Titanium und #tungsten
