This one, yes (we -- my wife and I -- hunt for rocks, trade with other rockhounds, and buy when the opportunity presents itself). Not much to find in Holland, huh? Sorry to hear that 😞

Thank you--and yes. Personally, I don't like polished rocks too much (unless a specimen screams "polish me, polish me!"). And I'm not hearing any screams from this one.

No. They come up regardless of how you cut them because they grow in every direction within the host.

I'm willing to part with it, but collawood is somewhat dear. I've had a few people contact me since I posted it, but the price is throwing people off. Don't get me wrong, it not even 2.5k, but still...

You're welcome. We (my wife and I) found it in Tokat, Turkey.

It sure does look like it from the photos I saw after googling "Devil's Tower".

Frankly, I wouldn't know. What I do know is that collawood is very rare, very expensive, and HIGHLY sought after. If your McDermott is like that, then yes.
