[QUOTE="Piep, post: 142052, member: 3017"] Being an agate, it will polish beautifully to a nice super glassy shine. It's a small piece, but the colour is very nice. In my opinion it's worth polishing, but don't expect to get any money for it. Carnelian is a fairly common stone and isn't a precious gem. You can buy it in bulk, fully polished or carved for about $2 to $10,- a piece. I'll warn you though: if you decide to give stone cutting/polishing a try at your local lapidary club, you have found yourself a serious new time sink. It's incredibly addictive! :-) [/QUOTE]
