Cat?! :eek:

Think smaller than a small pebble.

MUCH. MUCH. MUCH. Smaller.

You said I could go outside and pick it up. Thus, stray cat.

A lichen? Bark? A flower part? Grass blade? (this doesn't look organic) Is it organic? Animal, vegetable, or mineral?

Not living. Not organic. Neither animal nor vegetable.

And what defines a mineral?

mineral = a naturally occurring substance formed through geological processes that has a characteristic chemical composition, a highly ordered atomic structure and specific physical properties. A rock, by comparison, is an aggregate of minerals and need not have a specific chemical composition. Minerals range in composition from pure elements and simple salts to very complex silicates with thousands of known forms. (from Wikipedia)

Paper

Hm.

I found this:

A mineral is a naturally occurring homogeneous solid, inorganically formed, with a definite chemical composition and an ordered atomic arrangement.

Based on the above definition, then yes, it is a mineral and it is in the form of a crystal

Is it grey in real life?

Is it gray up there?

::looks::

Hmm...

Is it gray in real life?

Answer is...

no.

The above image is a scanning electron microscopy... thus, adding the tint.

Ooh... can't give that away. The color'll be a dead giveaway

Animal poop would be organic... hmmmm... rust?

Dirt.

Hm.

Glass? Similar in a way... but... glass doesn't have a lattice structure... it's a moving fluid ;)

Mercury?

Water?

Cherry Kool-Aid?

Milk?

Cherry koolaid, hee, hee. :)

Wondergirl's close in one of her guesses.

Close.

Well ladies and gents, I must head out for the night.

Time for bed.

Night everyone! Thanks for playing! Hopefully tomorrow'll bring better luck!

HEY!! I'm real close to the answer!!

Haha, OK wondergirl

You get a few more guesses. Watcha got?

To me it looks like an impression made in Blu-tac! Ha ha!

Snow!

Snowflake

Exactly... got here too late! A snowflake! I was thinking that for the last 2 or 3 pages, and MooMoo2 and Colbtech beat me too it!. and after all of that guessing lastnight too! You guys had more hints... LOL!

Woo hoo COLBTECH!

NICELY DONE!

That, indeed, IS a snowflake!!

Dangit, that's what I came up with in the wee hours of the morning. I was ready to post it eary, but slept in.

Darnit again, too late. :(

Early bird catches the worm...

... but then of course, the early worm gets eaten by the bird...

I know, it's sad.

Sneezy, I'm always a step behind. :(

Perhaps you should walk faster?

My feet want to, my brain, not so much. ;)

I thought Sneezy was gone for the night, so I quit thinking. I should get ten points for saying "water."

ok.

another hint.

nature. exists in some parts of the world, non-existent in other parts of the world. Some beaches have them, some islands have them. Most of the North American continent has it as well.

Some beaches have SNOWFLAKES??

Some beaches do actually get snow.

Yep.

And wondergirl, 10 sneezy points for you.

OMG!! Not just ten points, but ten SNEEZY points?? OMG!!

Wondergirl, you're so lucky, I envy you. ;)

I can't decide. Should I hold on to them, sell them, or cash them in?? I hope they're the rare puce ones.
