I was visiting my friend Ben Thompson at his home in Kirkwood Missouri a fine winter day in 2006. My wife and I had traveled to Eureka to visit my son and his family for our winter holiday gathering.


Ben and I hung out for a number of hours, talking about relics. Ben gave me the polished pendent shown below. He personally found this relic while he was living in Gibson County Indiana when he was much younger.


The relic is made of a brown slate and is approx 1 inch in diameter, well polished over the entire surface.

That is a great pendant. I met Ben a couple of times when I was younger, a fine gentleman.
