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?

[ISneezeFunny]

Not living. Not organic. Neither animal nor vegetable.

And what defines a mineral?

[Wondergirl]

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

[ISneezeFunny]

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?

[ISneezeFunny]

::hits forehead::

Haha that was good.

[Wondergirl]

Glass?

[Alty]

Bird poo. ;)

[ISneezeFunny]

Hm.

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

[Wondergirl]

Mercury?

Water?

Cherry Kool-Aid?

Milk?

[Alty]
