The box SCP-6258 is being kept in.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6258 is to be kept in a padded box inside a secure locker at Site-135, available to staff with Level 2 clearance.
Description: SCP-6258 is a pair of ornate glass wings resembling that of the species Pieris rapae1. The two pieces of wings are connected to each other, and are 32mm in length.
SCP-6258-1 instances can manifest on SCP-6258 when a person who is looking for something comes into contact with the object. SCP-6258-1 resembles a luminous orb of pure light varying in color, usually between purple, green, blue and pink, that is connected to SCP-6258.
When SCP-6258-1 manifests, the glass that SCP-6258 is made out of becomes flexible and functions as a pair of regular Pieris rapae wings. The entity leads the subjects to their desired goal and SCP-6258-1 demanifests once the subject reaches whatever it was looking for, the subject stops following SCP-6258-1 for a substantial period of time or when SCP-6258-1 is contained to a confined space.
If SCP-6258-1 is contained in a transparent container it can pass through solid material, however, SCP-6258 detaches from it and the entity becomes unable to fly, demanifesting soon after.
Discovery: The object was discovered in the possession of a male child named Jeremy Nordskov. According to the subject, he discovered the item when he bought it as a birthday present for his mother. On his way back from the store he got lost and that's when he discovered SCP-6258's anomalous ability. After making his way home he told his parents about the object who assumed he made the occurrence up.
The Foundation became aware of the entity when an undercover field agent in the local public school heard Jeremy talking to his peers about buying a "magical" object in a strange store but, the agent initially didn't have substantial proof of anomalous activity.
The object drew the Foundation's attention again when police officers took Jeremy home and told his parents that he and his friends were seen wandering around town without their parents' knowledge during school hours.
Jeremy told the police that they were following a glass fairy.
Field agents disguised as undercover police officers drove to Jeremy's house and requested to speak to him about the incident.
After inquiring about the object and gathering substantial proof Jeremy was administered class C amnestics and SCP-6258 was replaced with a replica.
After Foundation agents tried to investigate the store where Jeremy bought SCP-6258, it was discovered that its owner has gone missing since the discovery of SCP-6258.

SCP-6258 was tested with requesting goals that do not have a clear location.

Test: Agent Finley Yoxall, who has cut their parents out of their life, requested directions to their family.
Activity: SCP-6258-1 manifested and despite expectations, it didn't give directions to Agent Yoxall's parents and instead led Agent Yoxall to the second floor cafeteria where Dr. Harriet Carter was taking a break.

From the above tests it can be concluded that SCP-6258's goal is to help people in need and in sight of its refusal to activate to subjects with malicious intentions it is considered a minimal safety risk and therefore the request to use it on site to search for missing objects of high enough importance has been approved.
