Woman flummoxed by contents of pockets

I found a stone in the pocket of my new jeans
like a triple sized and dried chewing gum ball
or shrivelled up wasp nest desert fossil
maybe the shrunken head of King Hamurabi XIV

Not to over-egg

But now thanks so very much to the portal
I see it's <almost certainly> a pumice stone
used in the stone wash jeans process
to give them an aged look and make it softer

'Yeah, in the 80s it was pretty common
to find them in your jeans actually'

Three cheers for the mundane
