Crystals that can’t touch water

First of all, how do we know this? Well, something called Mohs hardness scale. It basically rates from 1-10 which crystal is harder and depending of this, the ones that are more soft get more damaged in water.

Sun Crystals • Gone Tomorrow

New suncatchers in my shop, hit sort by recent or toggle my Home Decor section to see them all. All are OOAK and my own designs.

OK, so I used the Sun Crystals today in my coffee smoothie and here are my thoughts:

It was sweet enough without being too sweet for things like whipped cream and coffee smoothies

It had a very subtle bitter after taste.  Not as bitter as straight stevia, but noticeable none the less.

It had a "glossy" kind of mouth feel to it.  Not so overly obnoxious that I can't use it occasionally but still odd.  I think I understand what @butimveggie means by stevia makes her mouth scream (I think that's how she put it)
