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

        I’m embarrassed I skimmed right over that on a first glance. Looks like the original was hematite. I’m going to pretend I was making a bad LotR joke.

      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.

      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.
