My desk is cluttered and I just found this thing on it. I’m worried it’s some egg from a insect. It’s extremely hard tho I try as hard as I can, but I can’t squish it with my fingers. It’s mostly see through which doesn’t seem bug like. Looks more like a pill or a maybe a stone from some jewelry. But don’t take any pills like this or have any jewelry with that color stone that anyone in the house wears really

Sounds to me like your desk is possibly antique & made out of actual wood, like oak or mahogany, instead of the glue and sawdust particle board modern furniture is made out of.
The old stuff was meant to be handed down for generations, the new stuff falls apart when you rearrange the room.
Congratulations! Don’t paint it weird colors and check once in a while that all the screws are tight because you will never find matching hardware to replace it.
I’ve always wondered if it was some real wood, but still can’t wrap my head around how heavy it is. I can shift it but I’m not sure if I could actually lift it by myself. Certainly not more than a inch too. Then again I’m not exactly swole lol
I plan on keeping it as long as I can. It’s currently a light pale color. Maybe I’ll stain it a darker color one of these days.
