A quick and easy one to restore.

| Nice found under the gangue (matrix formation) |
Here is a nice example of how to restore a potential artifact, found AS IS (first picture), by removing the small matrix formation (also called "Gangue") with the Dremel tool. The stone side is clearly cuts by man hand (the cuts are not natural - see picture below), this make a perfect man profile (eye, nose and mouth). The artist used the natural form, he just added the eye and the nose.
