Not a scratch on it. Simplistic yet articulate. It’s 2-3/4" tall and 1-3/4" wide and weighs 47g. The dangles are 2-3/8" long. Roy Vandever was the uncle of Esther Vandever Wood who made one of the nicest pieces I own. I’ll put a link to that after the pictures.

I love these simple, beautiful pieces! And I definitely remember that “not simple” stunning Kachina necklace by Esther Wood. You find some nice things.

Lol, don’t worry about it, It took me a while to figure it all out too. :pleading_face: :flushed: :scream: That is a beautiful stone! I can’t recall ever seeing a double border of file work like that, one nested in the other. Nice piece.
