My thinking was no polish. But the work would have to be done to get it in a cab shape with the skin still on the dome.

Or maybe use a piece like the bottom one in this pic and shape from there. More skin the better kind of thing.

Chuck, dial in an abstract mind or borrow Jean's for a while. I would think you could grind and shape to an awesome gem. Another Aardvark from Jean: you should know I don't think like that. I am an engineer so everything is calculated and precise. I dont do abstract very well. It takes a different mind set of that kind of work. Cant wait to see what Jean does with her box of these though. Chuck Me too(an engiNEAR) - so - analytical minds gone abstract very dangerous. You may come up with a catabaloid. That cab Jean made out of coral has a hemorrhoid.

And you will never in your lifetime ever see another one just like it! It is truly one of a kind!! More of a polyp (a polyp on coral polyps!) than a hemorrhoid.
I can do calculated and precise, but I am more adept at chaotic, lol. I never could stay between the lines!
