This is a sample of the kind of social media posts that we encourage members to send our Social Media team.

These posts focus on a single mineral, rock, or element. They may celebrate the discovery of an element and tell the story of its discovery. They may also highlight why that element is important in geochemistry and in everyday life.

Each post should also include 1-3 photos. Large, high resolution photos are best. The social media team will format them for each platform.

Example

MINERAL SPOTLIGHT: Vanadium (V) is a redox sensitive element and powerful tool for unraveling Earth's history. Arató & Audétat (2017) synthesized these beautiful V-bearing magnetites and glasses and used them to establish an oxybarometer for magmas. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016703717302351.
