easy one No cheating

 

[JaiNobeZ]

Sapphire?

 

[Arayan]

a carbon-containing mineral... green?? :thinking:

 

[Deleted member 16589]

Hint its a man made crystal

 

[Arayan]

I understand it's "carburo di silicio" (SiC) I have no idea how translate it in English

 

[Benm]

SiC would be silicon carbide, but it doesnt look like that at all.

Sapphire would be more likely, although i have no idea what use an irregularly shaped piece like that would be.

 

[Deleted member 16589]

ill give it to Arayan
the answer was ether silicon carbide or carborundum

 

[Kookapeli]

I was going to say Kryptonite (or however it's spelt )

 

[millirad]

What is this ?

 

[Prototype]

A giant flip-flop made from pots and pot lids? I was kind of hoping it was a pots and pans dragon until I saw the other side curved up too

 

[millirad]

You are almost a winner. Very close to the real thing.

Edit: Well, close enough I guess. Prototype is the winner.
