About it

A pink block of alum, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Alum is a mineral salt that people have used for centuries to clear muddy water, to fix dye in cloth and, as a crystal stick, to stop small shaving nicks from bleeding.

Tap it and the crystal is turned a quarter of the way round on its block. Drag around it to see the frosted, uneven faces and the dark stand it sits on.
