Rocks and minerals are used in almost anything. These crystals used to be mined and crushed up by the tons. Mostly found in dry arid regions. Ive found them in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and Utah. Can you guess what they are and what in your house has this mineral

Selenite! Is that the one that dissolves? I found some in Texas! Much smaller pieces though!

I have so many different things I’ve collected in my travels! I appreciate your help 😆

@BrokenAbyss That is selenite. Dissolves in hot water a tiny bit. Can feel it turn slippery. Once I hit some crystals with a steam wand at work. That isnt a good way to clean them believe me.

@icedsky did they disappear?

@BrokenAbyss melted them like ice cubes
