Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have been waiting for someone to come in here to tell us what kind of rock it is. No such luck so far.

I believe it's made of Bethanite

Well when you put it like that it makes perfect sense.

Hard to tell from the picture but I was wondering if it was some form of Serpentinite.

Silicon tretraoxide most likely, if it's a terrestrial rock.
