WE DID IT!!! 🎉🥳🥳🎉🎉

Congratulations Rhodochrosite! Rhodochrosite first competed in Mineral Cup in 2021, where it promptly lost (very badly!) to to bright green carbonate Malachite during its very first match. Defeated, it sat out 2022, before getting a second chance to start over in 2023, where it had a solid run before being defeated by Perovskite in the Quarterfinals. This year, it took vengeance during a Semifinals rematch against Perovskite, then handily defeated Kyanite to take the 2024 Championship. Check out the vote

Looks like they need to be marinated and slow roasted.

Ah yes, rhodocrosite, the ABBA of minerals. Vulgar, shallow but curiously appealing.
