My girlfriend left this little amber stick at my place, and to be honest… I had absolutely no idea what it was.

Then another possibility came to mind.

It was perhaps one of those objects about which one does not ask questions unless one is perfectly prepared for an embarrassing explanation.

So I did what many disoriented people would probably have done in the same situation.

I picked it up.

I turned it over several times.

I examined it from every angle.

I pretended to understand exactly what I was looking at.

Then I discreetly replaced it in the exact spot where I had found it.

But the mystery remained for me.

What was that?

In the end, curiosity won out.

After some research, I finally found the answer.
