Oxygenation events remarkably altered the distribution, diversity, and abundance of minerals on Earth's surface. However, the causality in the opposite direction—the influence of mineral evolution on atmospheric oxygen levels—has rarely been explored. Here I propose that mineral evolution might have led Earth's oxygen cycle to lose stability, facilitating oxygenation events in deep time.
