Do you know the dimensions of the rough stone. Might help someone possibly decifer the cut size?

Here's to hoping you have ridiculously large hands that just make the stone look on the smaller side? :D
 
I think it would be deemed junk by commercial cutters, but a freestyle cut by an hobby cutter may be able to turn it into an interesting curiosity piece.

As a hobby cutter, if it was one I had plucked out of the ground myself, I would invest a bit of time in shaping it up to see if I could get a pendant shape out of it. The Long flat shape, concave holes and inclusions would waste a significant % and I am not confident it would amount to much due to the dark colour against the background.

Value = the enjoyment of tossing it around the machine.
