    Not glass, but hardened resin. Used to track littoral currents and drift. Has metal so it can be found later with a metal detector.

      A tracer pebble, interesting. But they seem to be rather made of the same pebble they are supposed to trace. https://southerncoastalgroup-scopac.org.uk/tracer-pebble-studies/

    Jeez I can’t last longer than 10 minutes.

    Either I’m spamming or “providing content”

    Last one for a while.

      You are not spamming, you’re providing content and driving engagement.

      Do this long enough and I’m pretty sure you can put social media professional on your resume.

        Y’all are too good. I made this one harder on purpose.

        About 3 inches long. Fits in your palm.

    I wonder if it’s a kind of stir-bar, put it in a container and oscillate a magnetic field outside to move the contents around.

    Wild guess: Not glass at all, but actually a bar of glycerin soap with… something embedded inside it.

      I like this answer, you can see it’s on a formica counter with the edge of a self rimming sink to the left.

      I actually like this answer the best. Good guess based on image.

      I was misleading. Not glass but resin.

    What is the scale of this thing?

    edit: had to find out what it was, so I will not make guesses. See someone else has discussed scale already.

    What is the size? Looks like a can inside, if it’s large. If it’s small it looks like a threaded rod, or grub screw or something like that.

      Definitely more of a suppository than a plug
