    It feels and looks like shiny velvet. Weighed 5 grams. 20190416_144421.jpg 20190416_144425.jpg 20190416_144630.jpg 20190416_144521.jpg I'm not saying it's valuable, just want to know what might have caused this little guy to look so odd.

    Many years of circulation wear. Some environmental damage also. I have found many like yours in sand. Tumbling in the sand for many years.. I metal detect ;)

    That is what it looks like honestly! Maybe some kid put in their rock tumbler?
