It's 2020, the year where anything can happen.

The #MinCup2020 bracket is sticking to the rules with all official minerals. Voting starts September 1st.

Who will join legends #Olivine (2017), #Garnet (2018), & #IceMin (2019) to be this year's #champion?

#MinCup2020 is kicking off quasi-alphabetically in a battle of peacock ore #Bornite vs poisonous red #Cinnabar

Pick your champion, make your arguments, and VOTE!

ROUND 1 MATCH 1 goes to #Cinnabar with a 8% lead over rainbow #Bornite!

ROUND 1 MATCH 2:
It’s the bubbly #Calcite facing off against the plagioclase feldspar #Albite!

Both are much-beloved, but only one can continue in #MinCup2020. Campaign for your fav & get your votes in!

#Calcite absolutely trounces the feldspar end-member #Albite at 70-30, continuing on to Round 2.

ROUND 1 MATCH 3:
It's a contest of the vibrant colours with the blue feldspathoid #Sodalite taking on the yellow-red molybdate #Wulfenite.

Pick your champion, make your arguments, and vote!
