You won!

You were thinking of amber.
You said it is classified as Vegetable, I say Mineral.
Does it roll? You said Sometimes, I say No.
Can you smell it? You said Unknown, I say No.
Does it come from the ground? You said No, I say Yes.
Is it crunchy? You said Yes, I say No.
Do you hold it when you use it? You said Irrelevant, I say Yes.
Apparently it adjusts it's opinions on common knowledge so either no one's done amber yet or there are some misconceptions about it.
