<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 9588465, member: 5398&quot;][USER=255]@reader[/USER], I so appreciate your opinions on this pendant, and the time you spent to get other opinions from different sources. </p><p><br /></p><p>I probably won&#039;t be doing any further research, at least for now, since I don&#039;t know where else to search. I&#039;m not a serious collector of NA jewelry--I&#039;ve just bought various pieces at thrift stores, estate sales, etc. and have them in a tray that I&#039;ve been working on documenting for future selling (if not by me, by my daughter). I printed out your information to keep with the pendant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before I bought the pendant, I looked at it for quite a while trying to decide if it was a junk craft project, or something old with real turquoise, and decided it was worth $1.99 if only for a learning experience. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t even aware that pipestone(Catlinite) is an actual stone and was/is used in NA jewelry. I&#039;d heard of Pipestone, Minnesota (in my neighboring state), but hadn&#039;t heard of the Pipestone National Monument, or that the pipestone quarry has been a sacred gathering place for Native nations from all over North America.</p><p><br /></p><p>I originally thought the back of the pendant was maybe hard plastic or bone, but it has a stone or shell sound when I tap it against my teeth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had not heard of Perry Null (and didn&#039;t remember seeing the name in your other post), so I looked at their website. Also found it interesting to read about the repair/fabrication they are doing for you, and will look forward to seeing the results. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a Delbert Gordon pendant that&#039;s missing a large stone and would like opinions on what to do about it, but will post later in a separate thread.&nbsp; Thank you again, for all your help with the pendant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
