History
This piece is from the famous Mexican discovery in the 1990's. I purchased this directly from Benny Fenn at the Tucson show. He told me that this was the largest piece that came out intact.
In 2015, I reached out to His Son to discuss this piece. He told me that he didn't remember any larger so this is probably the largest. I have been looking for years to find any that come close in size and have not found any that come close. If anyone knows of a larger piece, Please contact me but at this time and with all my research I feel this is the largest know example. Today, They are rare on the market although they were common for a moment. Still, a piece of this size and quality has yet to be seen.
