Dont let the loss of #garnet from #MinCup2020 be another tragedy of 2020.

Reason 1: Given how well garnet attenuates X-rays, we can put it in a tomography scannerâmaking it a perfect mineral to use to study crystallization processes and microstructure formation! The scanned sample below is 3 cm in diameterhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ§Ą" title="Orangefarbenes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Orangefarbenes Herz">

Reason 4 for @MineralCup: Is this #garnet or galaxies?? Figure below shows the Cr distribution in a single population of garnet from the Sikkim Himalaya measured with laser-ablation ICP-MS. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Milky Way" aria-label="Emoji: Milky Way">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen">

Reason 3: You& #39;ll be hard-pressed to find an as-useful petrochronological mineral that can link age with stage. See the amazing @EthanRockStory& #39;s work for more! Figure below from Baxter et al., 2013 (check it out its awessommme).
And these examples are all #almandine #garnet , for all you @MineralCup purists https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen">.
Reason 2 for @MineralCup: You can measure trace element in incredible detail with laser ablation systems. Oscillations in #garnet as recorders of pressure cycling?! Fluid cycles?! WOW! Who knows what we& #39;ll discover!? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź" title="Gesicht mit offenem Mund" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit offenem Mund">
