It looks like it may have been in a key fob or locket type holder and carried. Damaged, though, yet without the surfaces a rock tumbler provides. Do you believe it is a 90% planchet?
I hate to say this but this is the first Kennedy that I dislike. UGH!
I too would say that this baby spent a lot of time breaking rocks in an industrial tumbler.

I am in the artificial wear club.
A product of the rock tumbler no doubt.
Wow!
I like the rock tumbler theory, but in any case it's very odd looking.
Definitely not Accented Hair....
