Very, very nice Roe.
Steel & Stone
There is a very talented craftsman here in Michigan that works with antlers and native stone. Whether it's lamps using whitetail, elk, or moose antlers, to semi precious stone jewerly, or from drawer pulls and antler cribbage boards to custom cutlery, his execution is exquisite.
I recently had him work his lapidary magic on a Case knife and a Zippo lighter using some of my favorite stone, a Verde Marble found in the Marquette area of Michigan's Upper Penninsula. As usual, he didn't let me down...

Thanks Eric, MM...this isn't the first blade I've gotten from him with stonework. He did this Bark River fixed blade a couple of years ago with a combination of Petosky Stone and Kona Dolomite...

Beautiful stuff! His work is above reproach, as you said.
Sad to say, but I had to look up "Lapidary". Apparently they don't use that one in crosswords much! At least I learned something today. Now I can go to bed happy.
