British mineral water? !!!
ok don’t bother counting this as a q unless its right. 😀
#13 (yitayningwut) No.
Can it be found in a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement?
It’s not edible.
Can it be a drink of some sort?
No, it’s not edible and cannot be made into anything edible.
Hint: Think more random. (That’s what I did.)
Is it found in mountains?
#14 (yitayningwut) Sometimes.
Does it have anything to do with volcanoes?
is it found in a backyard?
Is it worn as either jewelry/accessory?
Can it be found on the periodic table?
#15 (yitayningwut) No.
#16 (moskidoodle) I don’t see why not.
#17 (WIY) Yes.
#18 (Pegger) No. (You would, wouldn’t you…)
Hint: yitayningwut came a little close with the volcanoes. And it has a name, but it’s more usually referred to by its phenomenon.
Quartz?
And it has a name, but it’s more usually referred to by its phenomenon.
All further guesses must address this point.
Is it named after a person (according to popular lore)?
#19 (DaasYochid) No. (What’s that?)
Alexandrite – actual name chryoberyl, displaying a color change called the alexandrite effect. I was thinking moonstone, so called because of its shimmering effect, but I think that’s the actual name.
#20 (DaasYochid) No. It’s not really named after anything…it’s just produced a certain way. Everyone know the phenomenon but I don’t think everyone knows the actual name.
Should I just say it or do you want 5 more guesses?
#20 (DaasYochid)
That wasn’t question # 20, I was just answering your question (“What’s that?”).
Oh, I think I read your previous post again as a different question. Sorry, not at my best today. 🙂
So we’re still at 19…dun dun dun DUN…
Im guessing gold.
I’m guessing ash or lava
No, no. Not a volcano, something like a volcano. And where did gold come from?
something like a mountain or anthill or a chimney?
can you please make a summary of the things it is
It can’t be alive, it’s not round, it’s not a shoe horn OR an electronic device, it’s not manmade, it’s not a food, it can’t be used as a tool, it’s a mineral, it can be pluralized with -s, it’s not diamonds or rubies, it’s not rare, it’s not mined, it’s sometimes found on mountains, it DOESN’T have anything to do with volcanoes, it can (maybe) be found in a backyard, it can be worn as jewelry, it’s not found on the periodic table, and it is not named after any person.
is it like a stone that opens up into a rainbow or something like that?-( is there even such a thing?)
I don’t know. But no, anyway. It’s something that is produced as the result of some natural phenomenon. *just gave it away*
a shell?
Nope. Good guess, though.
Broken houses? (i’m thinking of a hurricane)
this is hard!
Some type of crystal?
Rock?
a geyser? Waterfall?
It is a crystal (of sorts). It’s not a rock, but sometimes it’s produced from rock.
Is it a pearl?
Is it a pearl?
Pearls are organic, not a mineral (same with shells).
Marble?
that grey/white stuff/fungus on rocks?
DY
Technically shells are made of minerals according to a casual Google of mine shells are 98% calcium and 2% protein.
Uncultured pearls are minerals. Cultured pearls are created using the shells of clams to start the process so are technically minerals as well.
No. Remember volcanoes? Keep thinking volcanoes. (But not actually volcanoes…)
Volcanoes directly
or indirectly produce or host deposits
of aluminum, diamonds, gold, nickel,
lead, zinc, and copper. We use most of
these materials everyday and, over the
course of a lifetime, consume some of
them
Okay, should I just tell it to you already? I think we’ve exhausted all questions, guesses, etc.
Yes, tell us!
It’s a fulgurite. (A sort of glass tube created when lightning strikes sand/soil/rock/other minerals.) Was it a good one? 🙂
terrible, no one got it!
thanks now for another one: I would do it myself but I don’t log on regularly enough.
Lol, that’s good.
