One of the "un-named" rocks in a box we just bought from Dr DG . A piece of green moss agate (Indian, I think) I wanted to test for undercutting. Had never cut this type of moss, and it easily passed the test. Good rocks in "Fish boxes"... .
The shape is just the result of grinding as little as I could in the process of testing the moss polish. Just for grins, call it a "high-dome trilliant".
-EDIT- The areas that appear to be unpolished around the sides are a reflection of the gray gradient paper background. That's how shiny the rock is.
Not a perfect cut, but it'll do. Especially for a "tester".

That is a nice little cab Vince. Sometimes the testers come out pretty good!
