So I sat at the table and it was like a lightning flash hit me.

It's so hard. It's not like a regular stone.

In some of the pieces you can see seeds, bones and teeth.

I have all sorts of actors wearing [the jewelry] now.

I was a chunky little kid, and when they sat me in that wagon, it tipped backward and I banged my head on the (concrete) floor. I was howling pretty good, but Dad went outside and cried his eyes out.

It just sat up there for a minute, but then it fell off.
