It really does feel like stone. But appears to have formed around the copper coils.
Yes that photo is a little blurry. It is a hole in the “stone” with another copper coil inside. Very small one.
Kind of what we were thinking. Prefer it was old jewelry but those copper coils seem from a machined part.
And practically speaking I agree. But what is the multi layered blue “stone”? It is so uniformly attached around the coils. And rock rock hard. Tap it on glass or marble & it sounds like stone.
I need to repost some better photos with better lighting. Agreed. Do I need to start another thread or can I add photos to this one?
Copper is widely used by New Age people in many ways. I saw photos someone made a copper spiraling coil for dowsing pendulum. I watched a video of a person using a stone object that size. Don't remember the name of it. Never noticed if there was a copper coil in the center. Hard to see the middle because of swinging pendulum.
If the blue stone is rough and your find was made in salt water, it could be concretion stone colored blue by the copper.
Stone is very smooth. But then again it has been tumbled in the ocean in sand and over rocks, making it NOW smooth, so could be. And I definitely found it in salt water. Atlantic Ocean.
That’s what we thought about the copper “handle”. You can see how it was once round but got caved in.
See what they say... ancient burial jewelry could fit your find since designs were specified in Egyptian culture. A burial amulet in jewelry form (silver scarab bracelet, glass gemstone pendant for necklace, electrum gold for burial protection symbols, etc.). Egyption designs once were popular with jewelry makers here in America. Finding an American replica of this ancient jewlry is highly possible. If from a shipwreck it may be the real deal. A weighted heart scarab ritual amulet for the dead used a green (perhaps bluish green?) jasper.
