Description
Alum Stone is a naturally occurring, translucent crystalline mineral rich in potassium. It is traditionally valued for its unique properties and has long been used in cosmetic and general household applications. When exposed to heat, alum stone transforms into a powder-like form and dissolves easily in water.
