Do people polish pieces like that or just keep them natural?

I like to cut or grind the face on those and the sand and polish. The fortification is phenomenal sometimes in material like that, Thanks for sharing...

Peculiar stuff there. I find little balls and tubes of gray chalcedony that almost looks like moss agate but no inclusions, sometimes embedded in limestone and sometimes separate where the softer matrix is gone. That looks like an opposite type of formation where the round cavities were the soft material, or maybe even gas or liquid pockets? Neato anyway.
