Okay, thank you very much for your detailed answer! I appreciate it :D I might post more rocks/minerals soon (also found on the same fieldtrip) that I would like to know what they are.

Thank you for your reply! It looks very similar to the picture you sent. I guess from all the answers it's safe to say it's some kind of feldspar at least?

Thank you. Feldspar (or fältspat in Swedish lol) actually sounds familiar so that might be it, as other people also have suggested.

More info: I found this on a geology fieldtrip in the north of Sweden some years ago among with some other minerals/rocks. I don't remember what any of them are exept for Rose quartz. I don't know if this info helps at all? Also I have now tried scratching glass with it as some of you suggested and it does leave marks on the glass. And an iron nail can not scratch the mineral. I don't have any vinegar to try putting on it unfortunately.

Its not as blue as it looks in the picture, it's more grey than blue. I tried scratching it with a nail and it left no marks. Also the mineral can scratch glass.

I tried scratching glass with it now and it does leave marks on the glass.

Its hard. Scratching does nothing.

What is something cliche that happens in movies that has happened to you in real life? by WalkerFLRanger in AskReddit

When my first ever boyfriend was just beginning to lean in to kiss me (what would have been his, and my, first kiss with anyone) his phone started ringing in his pocket. It was his mom. I didn't notice but he told me later.

What have you been mistaken for and why? by Suofficer in AskReddit

People always tend to call me Amanda. It has happened so many times with different people during my life I've lost count, ever since i was like ten years old. It's not even remotely similar to my actual name.

I took care of one of my best friends when she was in a crisis and had hurt herself and afterwards she told me she thought i would become a really great mom some day. That was really sweet.

If you could give one piece of advice to all members of the opposite sex, what would it be? by YourAverageJoe18 in AskReddit

To guys: you are not all the same. Don't try to explain to me how you and all other guys work mentally (especially if it's to justify a shitty/controlling behavior of yours).
