jamesmusslewhite Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 We live on the Northern most point of the island of Mindanao and my wife has a good friend living down on the Southern end. My wife was contacted by her friend and asked if I could identify two stones that she found on her property. I have yet seen a photo, merely a second-hand description provided by my wife. Her friend said they looked similar to diamonds but jelly-like, that they could be folded and hold that shape, and even squeezed into a ball. I personally have never remembered seeing or ever reading of a mineral with such properties. I hope to receive a photo, which I will post. in the next couple of days. I first thought of clear white fluorite but I never read where it was soft enough to be folded or rolled into a ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
