I have heard somewhere that there is a mineral in existence whose melting point is roughly 98 degrees Fahrenheit. From my limited information, it is a solid rock upon reaching that temperature, then it becomes a liquid.

Is this true in the least bit? And if it is, does anyone know the name of the mineral/compound/element?

I haven't heard of a rock that will do that (doesn't mean it doesn't exist bluetongue.gif). There is an alloy that works approximately that way though. . . see if I can find it. . . closest is "Field's Metal," made of bismuth, indium, and tin, melting point given varies by source from 104F to 144F.

Nat having any luck with rocks, I'm getting a rather amusing number of hits for Melting Point the rock band though >_<.

That's kind of funny. XD

I appreciate the help. It's a bit closer to what I'm trying to find. Thanks.

Do you mean Rubidium? That has a phase transition at about 38 degrees celsius, which is 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

I'm fairly sure Gallium melts in your hand.
