Physical properties

Hardness: Approx 2-3 (Mohs scale), Color: Translucent cyan/teal with internal glitter flakes, Luster: Vitreous/Plastic, Crystal structure: Amorphous (Non-crystalline), Cleavage: None

Formation & geological history

Man-made industrial manufacturing via injection molding or resin casting. Not geologically formed.

Uses & applications

Crafting, jewelry-making (beads/charms), and children's novelty toys.

Geological facts

This specimen is a man-made object designed to mimic the appearance of 'crushed ice' or glitter-infused glass/plastic. It is shaped like a seal or sea lion, a clear indicator of industrial manufacturing.

Field identification & locations

To identify in the field: Note the perfectly molded animal shape and even distribution of circular glitter. It will be lightweight compared to a stone, warm to the touch, and can be scratched with a copper penny or steel needle.
