Thank you for replying, I forgot to say it is very magnetic. I was told it was gypsum then a few days ago something different so I'm confused. I'm not testing anyone's knowledge, I'm just still learning. lol

I think it is a type of feldspar. (don't know why this was marked solved)

Feldspar is a Na–K–Ca–Al tectosilicate, generally poor in iron or other elements with strong magnetic moments (Deer et al.2001). ... Plagioclase, much more often than alkali feldspar, can contain small inclusions of ferromagnetic minerals.
