Offhand, I’m guessing it’s the famed Jupiter Talisman.
Why, yes!
It's a Jupiter talisman ... like Joseph Smith's!
Oh, and btw, here's an interesting quote:
"Joseph Jr. NEVER repudiated the stones or denied their power to find treasure. Remnants of the magical culture stayed with him to the end."
Richard L. Bushman, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, p. 51
