Obelisk

The Obelisk  is an item of unknown, potentially extraterrestrial, origin. According to Skye's father, it is known as "the Diviner". It is first unearthed in 1945 and recovered by the SSR from  HYDRA  making it the first 0-8-4 identified object by  S.H.I.E.L.D.



By physical touch "The Obelisk" can kill people and affects human skin by visibly turning the section that touched it black. It is a silvery color in the form of an abstract shape.

History
After being picked up by Raina, the Obelisk does not kill her. Instead, it glows and shows markings of the same style as John Garrett and    Phil Coulson carvings.

After picking up the Obelisk and activating it, Raina informs the "Doctor," that the Obelisk works. The "Doctor" corrects her and notes that it let her live. He promises to tell Raina more about the Obelisk if she will bring his daughter to him.
