      No... much harder.

      It's also a natural material.

          No, it's a type of stone.

                Ah, I just see we are looking for the specific name of the material.

                Is it a kind of textile?

                  Nope.

                  Adventure, see my previous post--it's a type of stone. It's considered semi-precious.

                  I've used it in my home before. Here's another pic that shows a more common cut:

                    Fossil stone seems too obvious and it doesn't look like amber. I'm not sure.

                          Moss agate is much greener, I think. At least the types I've used.

                          To help with elimination: It's not a type of jasper or agate.

                          Some other trivia hints for certain types of this stone (because I have to go soon

                          It's an ingredient in the household cleaner Bon Ami
                          It's often used as an anti-caking agent in powdered non-dairy creamers.

                              You've got it! Good detective work. The two pics I shared were actually called "graphic feldspar."

                              I'm out for a bit.
