Yes, but a tourmaline , would be more transparent, I think it is a selenite, it has the vibe of it :o)

Just wondering whether the stone has been shaped, its also possibility of moonstone, but as Ametrine says its still a possibility on selenite which can be shaped, and polished and it feels cool.  The only other crystals I can think of with lines are tourmalines, but to be honest I've never seen tourmaline in this colour before but I'll take another look online for tourmaline colours

here's a link, there is one that looks this colour like a pale grey on the link tourmaline/elbaite

Selenite stone does not “melt” in water, however, it is slightly soluble in water. So, you could say it “dissolves” in water instead. The solubility of Selenite crystals is ~2.0–2.5 g/l at 25 °C. So, in one liter of water at room temperature, 2.5g of your stone will go into solution. If your stone weighs 2.5g or less, it will disappear in water.

See so there is no way its Selenite or gypsum cos gypsum is a version of selenite..

Oh no just saw your ink to Ulexite nope its not that, it has definite lines running through it and yes it is iridescent or opeque looking,just like Selenite but its way harder than Selenite if I tapped Selenite it bruises into white spots on it or it would chip or crack, this dosnt damage tapping it on a hard surface..I've tried & tested it like that its really got me baffled..

Nope its not gypsum as its too weak a stone and it dissolves in water too,and survives in higher temps only.... hense why they closed the Naicas's largest gypsum caves in Spain cos the gypsum crystals were dissolving just from peoples breath...no this stone this is way way harder.. but thanks for searching Julie..but keep looking..its a lovely thing to touch,its cold on the body,maybe that's why it was chosen to cool a Victorian lady down IDK I'm surmising here...

Possibilities

Gypsum above

Ulexite or sometimes called TV stone - this link shows pictures Vlada, it's a possibility - it's still a possible on selenite as it looks slightly iridescent, a very unusual piece...how does it make your energy field feel

Yes we have Quartz everywhere,here being in the Gold area,..so they dont really attract me anymore which is a shame aye,but I still love hunting for them on my treks regardless...Now I have a question for you both,I have a necklace I found at a garage sale years ago that's solid sterling silver & has some precious gemstone on it.. but I cant find what gemstone it is,so I'm gonna add photo's of it and post them below,just to see if either of you ladies maybe could identify it for me, I've searched online,but nothing is popping out to me..its rather a old piece,early 1800's I've been told by a antique dealer..I first thought it might be a Grey Selenite,cos its got ridges on it,but its not fragile enough to be Selenite.. as its rock hard dosn't chip,has a cold feeling to the touch..its kinda got a iridescence with definate curved ridges running down its full length of each bead its extremely well made..anyway see what you think it could be..I'm most interested on your ideas..
