Both today’s #MinCup2020 contestants are Very Good Rocks.
#Kyanite: so finicky it’ll change structure to different minerals depending on temperature & pressure
#Corundum: a hard (Mohs 9!) workhorse with a shiny side when contaminated (aka, ruby & sapphire).

Both minerals seem very suitable as 2020 Champions.
Who among us isn’t a bit blue, spiked, & highly responsive to pressure? Congrats, #Kyanite is kin.
Yet we’re also surviving day after day without being ground down, and still finding moments of sheer beauty. That’s #Corundum.

I voted #Kyanite because I love unmistakable-to-ID minerals and appreciate when they shout their stories in case I’m being oblivious, but it could’ve gone either way.
