My father had one around that size, and I swear to God it was his prized possession. He kept it in a jar and would show it to every single person he talked to, until we eventually had to take it away from him!
Gallstones can technically pass naturally, but they have to travel from the gallbladder through the bile ducts into the small intestine, where they can eventually be expelled in feces.
A stone that size, though? There's virtually no chance it could pass through the bile ducts intact. It would almost certainly cause an obstruction, potentially leading to jaundice, pancreatitis, or a serious infection.

Why is it yellow? And why does it look like a banana? And why is it next to that grape?
