[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 359467, member: 1916"] 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. [/QUOTE]
