This is definitely the largest sea sponge I have ever found on the coast, and the most beautifully collored. I am staying at the small bay in Adriatic Sea so we don't get large sea life around here. For this area it is huge...
@randystreat it feels bit soft, bit rough, can’t squeze it, really, It is not elastic but it is strong. It would feel good on the skin. But I think they would need to be processed before used in cosmetics.... they can get rather smelly.... This one is suprisingly clear of smell....
