Physical properties
If quartz: small, rounded, translucent to opaque, pale tan or off-white color. If non-geological (e.g., sesame seed, grain), organic composition.

If quartz: weathered from various rock types and transported by water or other erosive forces, resulting in rounded edges.
Uses & applications
No practical purpose for a specimen this size; typically incidental.
Geological facts
The object is extremely small, resting on a printed receipt, making definitive identification difficult. It resembles a small river pebble or a piece of gravel, but could also be a stray seed or food crumb.
Field identification & locations
Due to insufficient detail at this scale, specific identification cannot be confirmed.
