In the original picture the ring isn’t copper. The word copper is also edited. It was changed to copper for the Ea Nasir joke.

I’m confused by the matte out. Is it to anonymize the ring? Something written on it, maybe?

The word “Copper” is clearly edited in as well, so it’s probably covering a ring made by a different material.

Maybe hematite? I seem to remember saying that about hematite when I was young and the whole neopagan and new age stuff had a moment.

The whole “copper absorbs impurities” thing is a long-lasting trope. Copper is very soft and doesn’t break like this. Certainly not a ring in half. The matte out is MS Paint to connect 2 probably unrelated images.

Ah, I’d never heard that. Found the original and it appears to have originally been hematite.

Yeah, brittleness of a stone makes sense for a break like that.

We are also censoring the name of the material it is made of.

It was not copper. Look at the spacing on the text around the word.

I’m embarrassed I skimmed right over that on a first glance. Looks like the original was hematite.
