Description Dramatic Bennie Ration Navajo Damele and Sterling Silver Pendant! Moreover, Damele is from the Benny Demele Ranch and the claim of Tony Cotner. Unfortunately, Tony (A personal friend of ours) passes away without telling anyone the of the exact location of the Damele source! In addition, he personally tells us that he covers his mine with 20 tons of dirt when it isn’t being actively mined. Navajo silversmith Bennie Ration was born March 21, 1955, on the Canoncito Navajo reservation in New Mexico. John and Frances Ration are his parents. As a matter of fact, his father, who had been a silversmith since childhood, taught Bennie the art of silversmithing at the age of eleven.
