I have been taking part in #MinCup23 over on Bluesky but I think I will cross-post here too! Maybe sway some more votes?

I vote for great art or geophysics applications.

Sure, topaz is used as a gem, but Goethite (named for Goethe), has been used as a pigment from as early as the Lascaux caves! So Round 1 Match 6 vote Goethite over Topaz.

Polymath Goethe, incidentally, thought his Theory of Colours (1810) his most important work, hence my Fauvism-inspired print #sciart #colour #art #science
Image of a rotund beige horse outlined in black from the Lascaux caves below a chart of 15 squares of different mineral pigment colours in browns and black. 6/15 are due to Goethite.
Cave paintings from Lascaux caves with aurochs, horses and elk in browns and black.
Fauvism inspired linocut reduction print portrait called “Goethe’s Theory of Colours” with my portrait of writer, statesman and polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832). My portrait is based on contemporary portraits, particularly a painting of Goethe in 1828 by Joseph Karl Stieler.
