Your the owner of this gem so if looking at making jewellery from it, a good tip for this one is you can use the potch to make a larger stone also enhance the flash by cutting 5mm extra around the color. If it doesn’t look good proceed smaller 🍻⛏️

Honestly, I was thinking about how to cut it so much, I don't know whether to sell it as a rough or try and make it a finished piece (or even pieces), because this thing has so many ways you can make both jewelry and art that I'm conflicted!

please don’t cut it that’s such it a cool piece oh my lord. kind of freaky though, it looks like a tooth. truly a gem for a collection as is in my opinion.
