    1. It’s beautiful! Is it common for this to happen? That is, are these types of formations commonly found or is it something unusual?

      Assume it was cut and then buffed to that finish? That must have been a nail-biter, polishing this invaluable irreplaceable wonder of nature.

      I feel like it’s not really appreciated enough that when you pick up a handful of sand on the beach you’re holding billions of years worth of crushed up mountains and pieces of the earth’s crust etc

      Whatever organisms that still live in there are going through another 100 year storm lol

      Question. Given enough time and if it spinned would the sand eventually scratch its way out of the stone or does the water keep that from happening?

      There are climatologists that would slap their mother for a sample of the air in that bubble.

      Backhand.
