It's about the size of a thumb. Purple and partially transparent. I tried to scratch it with my nail but it didn't leave a mark. Mostly smooth to the touch. Has some debris inside?

Hi all, I'm pretty sure I found this at a beach one day a few years ago and would love to hear any information about what it might be. It's smooth on one side, and the other feels very "rocky"...
