More like what's it made of?

It's a paperweight, that I know. It's 2 1/2 in. in height. Weighs 9.2 ounces. Looks like a glassy type material. Opaque and solid. Has surface inclusions and marks that may or may not be natural. The bottom is smooth, glossy and shiny with the exception of scratches which are indicative of having a little age to it. I can't find anything to compare it to. What say you? Here's the pics.

Was it found in mulch ?
No it was purchased with a few mineral specimens at an estate sale. The bottom of it has been cut flat and polished for use as a paperweight.
