Beautiful rubies in a micaceous schist from Mysore, India. They’re hard, they look nice and they are wonderfully fluorescent in UV light. Vote #Corundum for the 2020 @MineralCup champion! #Ruby#HardSchist

Cardiff Alumni @geologyjess giving us a detailed insight into the use of accessory minerals to understand the evolution of mineralising systems.. with some lovely SEM imagery! #MDSG2020
Switching to gold at #MDSG2020, here's @Jamie_Priceless talking about gold mineralisation on the Mougooderra Shear Zone - bit of a cross-over with #TSG2020 here!
Gold is incredible - it is extremely dense (1 tonne = 37cm cube), very ductile (1oz can stretch to 8km thread), an excellent conductor, is edible (vodka!), very difficult to find (...) and has the most alluring colour of any material. It has my vote! #MinCup2019#Ausome
