So I had to go remind myself what #stibnite is because frankly I'm more used to seeing "antimony" still, but...

as much as #sodalite is fun and pretty... listen, it's not chaos. Stibnite is basically chaos in most of its historical uses, iirc!

Also it often co-occurs with things like #realgar, #cinnabar, #orpiment, and #galena... now that's some fun chaos company. Vote Stibnite for chaos!! #MinCup23
