This is ulexite (also called TV stone or television stone).
Although it looks opaque, it transmits the image lying underneath almost like a natural monitor.

#ULEXITE MINERAL
Ulexite stone is a mineral, it is not transparent but yet it projects an image of what ever is behind it onto its surface

Ulexite: is a soft, translucent borate mineral found in evaporite deposits. Its fibrous crystals create a silky glow and an incredible optical effect, acting like natural fiber optics to project images through its surface.
Chemical Formula:
NaCaB₅O₆(OH)₆·5H₂O
Usage:
Educational Displays: Prized for its light-transmitting properties, perfect for geology demos and collectors.
Boron Production: A source for borax, used in detergents, glass, and ceramics.
Industrial Applications: Minor role in fertilizers and specialty chemicals.
Note: Nicknamed the "TV Stone," Ulexite’s ability to transmit light makes it a standout in mineral collections. Handle with care, as its softness makes it prone to scratches!
