Vote for your favorite mineral in #MinCup26! - Sphalerite vs. Anorthite
Both zinc ore Sphalerite and calcium plagioclase feldspar Anorthite have perfect cleavage that will split cleanly if you hit them with a hammer, but only one can claim a larger split of your votes!

Mineralogically interesting areas occur in the broader region around the city of Xanthi and the villages of Kimmeria and Lefkopetra, where the 27–28 Ma Oligocene Xanthi pluton intrudes gneisses, amphibolites, and marbles, producing contact metamorphism (e.g., skarn formation) and associated mineralization. Typical mineral assemblages include epidote, quartz, grossular–andradite garnet, specular hematite, and calcite, along with ore minerals such as molybdenite and magnetite. Although most specimens circulating within the collecting community are labeled as originating near the village of Kimmeria, the most prolific localities in terms of production are actually situated closer to Lefkopetra.
