Kalithallite
Kalthallite is a rare potassium-thallium chloride mineral with the chemical formula K3Tl^3⁺Cl6*2H2O. It crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system and is classified as a halide mineral. The mineral exhibits a vitreous luster and is typically colorless to white in appearance. It has a relatively low hardness on the Mohs scale and a moderate density. Due to its chemical composition and crystal structure, kalithallite is of interest in mineralogical studies, particularly for its rare thallium content and hydrous nature.

How to recognize it
Kalthallite can be identified by its colorless to white color and vitreous luster. Its hardness is relatively low, though the exact Mohs value is not specified. A streak test may help in identification, as it likely leaves a white streak. Due to its rarity and specific chemical composition, it is not commonly confused with other minerals, but its identification is best confirmed through chemical analysis for potassium, thallium, and chloride content.
