Hmm, Selenite would have been my initial guess just glancing at it, but you're right, at closer inspection, it doesn't quite look correct.

I mean, it almost has the coloring of Desert Rose Selenite, but not the formation at all.

I have no idea, but at first I thought it was a hunk of wood.

Me too, but looking at photos of petrified wood, it doesn’t look anything like it. :/  At least not from what I’ve seen in google images.

Is it opaque? Brittle? How hard is it?

I’m guessing it’s opaque.  It was described as “ not white at all, almost yellow in color when you look underneath” and “It's hard, pretty much the same consistency as quartz”

Reading cloths are used by some readers for a couple of possibilities.

One of the first is to keep their cards clean. The cloth will protect them from a dirty table or reading surface. Another reason is that it doubles as a wrapping and storage cloth for the deck. Another reason is that it creates a special space for reading. Some readers will bless their cloth so that it creates a portable sacred space for reading on. One of the last reasons: they’re just pretty! :)
