It doesn't decay (that is, spontaneously change to another form of  
matter or energy), but it can interact with other particles to become  
something else, including energy if interacting with a positron. I  
don't think we can say whether it's uncrushable* , but it's certainly  
mutable.

paper and lots of time might also work. ;-)
