  DONE  This is a very pretty piece of tumbled morrisonite. I was planning to grind the back flat, cut it down and redome it. I don't wire wrap, but someone could make a nice piece of jewerly from it as. It would probably be reduced by 20% and end up about 25mm tall. Cab it or leave it alone? |

It looks a litle strange in its right side, looks like you trimmed it especially for fiting into the photo. I'd say to cab it, but wait for other opinions to make the decision.

If you can get an 18x25mm cab out of that then what's stopping you?!  Some of my nicer stuff started out as freeform tumbled stones that I thought deserved some special attention to bring out their greater potential. You know, I'd just let let the stone tell you what to do, well unless of course it happens to be evil and just tells you to burn things. ;D |

If it was me I'd cab it. It has a nice shape in general with the exception of the right side. Smooth that out and it could be one dynomite cab.

I cut it down and flattened the back. Surprisingly little material lost. I need to make some minor adjustments to the shape, sand and polish.
