They will say or do anything to discredit the Bible.
Apparently it was a special sapphire stone which was passed onto Moses by God, this sapphire stone was apparently set in a rod. The staff of Moses.
This story which is in the 'The legend of the Jews' goes a bit like the King Arthur and the pulling of the sword out of the stone, maybe this is where they got there story of King Arthur from.
The story goes:
Moses Takes the Rod

Moses Takes the Rod
What Did It Look Like?When Moses fled Eygpt and came to Jethro’s house, he went into the garden, saw the rod, and read the letters upon it. He pulled the rod out of the ground, which no one had been able to do until then. Jethro observed this and said: “This one will one day redeem Israel from Egypt.” He therefore decided to give his daughter Zipporah to Moses as a wife.
What Happened to It?In the Midrash we find that the staff was made out of sapphire. Another tradition is that it was made out of wood from the Tree of Knowledge.
Additionally, inscribed on the staff was G‑d’s four-letter name (the Tetragrammaton) and דצ”ח עד”ש באח”ב (Detzach Adash B’achav), which turned out to be an acronym for the ten plagues.
The staff’s uniqueness is first mentioned in the Mishnah, which lists Moses' staff as one of ten wondrous things created before the first Shabbat of Creation.The Midrash tells us that the staff was passed down from generation to generation and was in the possession of the Judean kings. Thus, the Midrash relates that the verse concerning King David, "And he took his staff in his hand,” is a reference to Moses' special staff.
Before the Temple was destroyed, this staff was hidden. Some say it was placed together with the implements of the Tabernacle that Moses made as well as the Holy Ark.
The Midrash relates that Moses' staff will ultimately be given to the Messiah during the messianic era. May it be speedily in our days!
