If you have a menu option for Moderation in your settings, the option to allow visibility to logged out users should be at the bottom of that. It would be great to share your post in today's MinCup highlights.

#Stibnite is well known to have been used in cosmetics by the Ancient Egyptians, but so was #Atacamite.

Stibnite has had its chance in past MinCups. It's time to give the green beauty your vote.

Vote Atacamite! www.mineralcup.org/2024/vote/r1...

Recognise this? Yes, that's #Atacamite! Atacamite can form as a corrosion product of copper alloys so is found coating many bronze statues including the Statue of Liberty.
