One time I saved some of a beloved's sperm in a jar. A few months later I decided I had kept it long enough, and opened the lid to wash the jar. The smell was horrible.
Considering those gall stones smelled like ten million year old dead dinosaur farts, can you imagine what it would have smelled like if I ever decided to open the jar if I had not frozen it.
None the less, M told me to put them in a jar and freeze them if I intended to keep them and wanted to show them to P, to make sure they were really gallstones. Her reasoning was that they might melt. BUT...
Why on earth would they melt at ROOM temperature, if they did not melt in my BODY???? I am sure you have already answered this question.
