Unsure if my 5 year old passed a kidney stone or not... can they be broken with your fingers? Thanks

Hi we found a small drop of blood and a small (maybe 4mm) flattish, sharpish piece of sediment a few months ago.  She passed it in her sleep without realising when we put her on the toilet to make sure she stayed dry all night!  Earlier that day she had a slight stomach pain. I didn't think much of it, but then recently raised it with her gp who is going to run some tests.  I didn't keep it, and so now I'm researching types of stones etc and nothing seems to resemble exactly what she had. It broke in half and crumbled quite easily in my fingers, does that sound like a kidney stone?  Many thanks.
