About the size of a half dollar. I think it's silver.


Thanks

    Since we're at it.. how about this. I know this isn't the place for this but I'm betting someone here knows.

    I was told it's used for polishing? something about Italy? no clue... it's the size of a bowling ball.

    just wondering what type of stone that is, not necessarily it's function.
