Dear Ernest,
Jesse has confirmed that this is iron, not stone.
Here are two images from "Das Heil der Mitte" by Dr Paul U. Unschuld
The first shows our itinerent herbalist shaking his rattle and advertising his wares; the second shows three different iron rattles.
Bill,
The characters for 'Tiger's sting" are in the second picture, but in case they are too small to read, I will e-mail them to you separately.
