    Hi Elizabeth, Use thick crazy glue and glue your stone to the head of
    a finishing nail. That makes it easy to hold and if you center it
    well, you can easily turn the cab against any number of abrasive
    sources to reduce it's diameter precisely.  Use acetone to dismount
    the stone.  Good luck! 

Best regards,
John
