Gyrolite

Gyrolite is a really cool mineral that has lots of little shapes that can look like stars or little balls. It is made up of chemicals called silicates and is usually white or gray in color.

It is formed when hot water flows through rocks and picks up certain chemicals. Then, when the water cools down and the chemicals start to settle, gyrolite can form.

Scientists like to study gyrolite because it can help them understand how minerals form and how water moves through the Earth. Plus, it's just really interesting to look at!
