Meet the Macintosh Stone.... Why Should We Care?

Ok, here's part of the puzzle of the "Macintosh Stone" ....

One day in the mid-80's, a mineral collector in northern Michigan named Charlie Macintosh was working a cliff about 50 feet above Lake Superior; as usual, he put the good stones he dug out of the dirt in a bag and, once back home, began giving them a much-needed cleaning, before he began polishing ....

Then, he stopped.

One of the smaller stones ... about the width of two dimes -- like a million others Charlie had picked up all the years before -- was different--

It was covered in tiny "hieroglyphics!"

Thus began a major mystery--

What was a tiny, ancient-looking "amulet" -- a carved stone covered in what appeared to be Middle Eastern "writing" -- doing, half-buried -- across thousands of years, and an equal number of miles -- on the shores of one of the Great Lakes?
