well i tried to reach Lisa Swappach-Shirriff at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum via email and it turns out that she no longer works there.so they pointed me towards an appraiser who i emailed that said he couldn't help me at all(very awkwardly) so i guess for now itll stay a mystery where and when this is from until maybe i find someone to send it to or something to check it out.

thanks everybody for the response.i sent the curator of the museum a email with some pics so we will just have to wait and see. its def old and doesnt look to be a fake.i rubbed it on a glass table to see if it left a white line like you guys said if it was soapstone but it didnt it scratched the glass instead. but i would love to find out exactly where this piece came from, the age, and value so feel free to sued my pics if you have to so we can find out more about this piece and for now  we will have to wait and see.

hi i found this in a attic i was insulating. it looks old and maybe was made into a necklace pendant at some point. but its a scarab made out of what i think is turquoise... whatever its made of is hard, like a rock... not wood. but its scarab shaped with a hole going through it from the top to the bottom with some hieroglyphics on the back. its a small piece prob about 2 inches by 1 inch big.i looked up some pendants but nothing really looks like this one all the ones i found were made of metal! any info would be great thank you.
