I did not know it was coming until he emailed me that it looked like something he'd sent arrived at my post office box. Big surprise!
First words, with big grin...."oh wow...!" I will wear it when I've appropriately rigged it into a necklace, probably as a pendant. And especially at bead shows. I wore the killer black and white Uwe spiral grind to Tucson in 2011, and it got very impressed reactions! Like, "What IS that?!" They liked it a lot!
