my first thought is always " I want to be on a warm beach"
as to your piece, I like it. perhaps a hammerstone?
PS what is that machine? you a geologist?

Odd ... The shape anyways looks to be hard stone and shows wear from grinding. If I found in a field I would keep it but if found on the shores I hunt I'm not so sure I would have.

The center ring is simply a harder layer in the rock that didn't get worn down as fast as the rest of the cobble. That part is entirely natural.
The end does show some battering, which very well could be man made.

I agree 100%.
My first thought was a rock final for a magic wand from the rock creatures at Easter Island. That is how my thought process works when I am tired.....

I"m more curious about what geological event caused the layering or intrusion of that thin strata of different material; only to revert back to the original material after the event.

Nothing reverted back. The vein is a vein of quartz which was molten when it intruded the formation that the host rock was a part of. The cobble itself was once part of a formation likely thousands of feet thick. The quartz is an igneous material, which, when molten, flowed through that formation. Think of the cobble itself as just a fragment of that massive formation.

natural rock
I have seen beaches where there are literally thousands of these. The first time I saw them I was amazed. I probably carried 30 pounds of them home. The problem was I was visiting Wales in the U.K. and the added weight fees killed me on the flight back to the good old USA.
