...Ryan, did you say LBS? That's one hefty bone! What do you plan on doing with it? Sectioning it into slabs, making some cabs, leaving the whole thing intact...?

Ryan, that is the best example of dinosaur bone, I've ever seen!
Thanks Barbra, Mr. Barrett! I was thrilled to be able to buy this piece. Especially for the price that was asked for it. Similar gembone at the Denver show in 2011 was fetching prices 4X more than what I was able to pay for this piece. I'm still excited about it. LOL
Arya, yes, pounds! I plan on keeping this one for a while as it is. Eventually i'll probably take 4 or 5 slabs off of it and re-polish the face and leave it on the shelf while I make cabs and inlay out of the slabs.

This piece was manufactured by Frank and Kim Yanke of Franklin MI and was recently delivered to their client.

Very nice Roger. Stunning piece, it will go very well with Autumn colored apparel.
Hi John, my thoughts exactly. The jeweler had us meet their client in their store to consult on gem type/color options. My wife would describe this woman's coloring as..... autumn. Reddish-auburn hair, light skin, freckles, hazel-greenish eyes. So autumn it is!
Hi Roger, This piece appears to have two tone gold ( rose and yellow ) which I think goes perfectly with the stone colors. This must look just striking on this lady.
