Hello wait til u see this cab and silversmith pendant by our own Radio/Arlen!!! Wowser folks, awesomeness fer real!!! I hounded it. It is Picasso Mable from a small dig site about a mile from the big reclaimed Picasso Marble pit. It has a green tinge and lines in it. I found it on the RTH Rockhound Weekend in Cedar City Utah last spring. We stopped to recon the area because we couldn't find the original pit. In a urgent gotta pee situation and no trees I went behind a dirt and rock pile from the small backhoe hole. There were small melon shaped greenish white chalky exterior rocks there. I picked up three dry ones, LOL. Then later back in Az I threw them into our rock garden and the lovely Susan ask what they were? I said ugly rocks from before our group found the real Piccaso Marble. She asked me to chip one and see what was in it. Wow when I saw the insides I threw them.back in the truck to come to NC. When I stopped in Branson Missouri to meet and greet with Radio/Arlen he saw them snd I gave him the chipped one. He said he would make the lovely Sussn a pendant of a scene with a tree. Picasso is her fav, it looks like trees in the winter and sometimes has Spanish moss hanging from the limbs. Well Arlen just sent me a pic of it snd it is perfect, there is s wintery snow like scene with a stark outlined tree! Fantastic silver work with unbelievable composition. I offered to pay but he said it was a gift for Susan!!! It was as surprise for her but I just had to show her the pic Arlen posted on facebook. He cant get pics on here yet so I am gonna put one here!!! It's should be here 2moro!!#

Ahhhh. Susan hot her pendant in the mail yesterday!!!! It is awesomeness!!! It's actually bigger than it looks and is so incredible in person! I really love what Arlen has started to be known for which is a sanded flat rope around the bezel! It just gives a more shadow effect to the piece and you see more of the bezel and it's meeting points with the gemstone. Thank you brother Arlen!!! We are going to the doctor today so Susan is getting all flu flu dressy snd wearing her pendant!!! Yea!!! Does the phrase "Bill gets lucky tonite" mean as much to yall as it does to me??? Insane!!! radio

We definitely worked the same shows. ETA I'm changing jobs in January which will allow more personal freedom. We might could road trip one summer
