Even in the old testament he punishes his nation pretty hard for forsaking the poor and the stranger and the widow and for being corrupt, bending the law for bribes and giving rich and well known people advantages over others.

The only way to know about 67 is if he talked to his kids.

You're totally right, I have to check my biases.
Maybe we can find some Anglo-Saxon words to describe these shapes since obv not everyone has the greek numbers memorised.
A hexagon could be a sixpoint, or a sixcorner, or a sixedge, or a sixangle. What sound more well rounded to you?

We do that in German, I bet you could pick out the meaning of these words: Viereck, Fünfeck, Sechseck, Siebeneck, Achteck, Neuneck.

I read under 3 replies, that you don't think they explain the frequency.
But they're the answers given by most and also the one that I would give. Maybe they do explain the frequency. Maybe our communities here are just more full of self doubt or self reflection than other websites.

Do let me be a bit provocative here: why did you pose the question if you don't accept the answers?

A brittle rock made of glitter. It breaks in this linear fashion and can be pound into sand by a mortar and pestle.

Anyone got any clues?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I found it in Romania and after searching for forums of minerals from Romania, I got a few other clues.

It isn't conclusive to me yet, but the possibilities are:

  • Pyrit
  • Mica
  • Schist
  • Nagyágit
  • Calaverit
  • Sylvanit

Of these, Mica and Sylvanit fit the best (imo).
