Firstly, green onyx is a type of translucent stone that ranges in color from light to dark green, thanks to mineral impurities. It gives off this vibrant and calming vibe that instantly catches the eye. The turtle itself is a symbol of longevity, wisdom, and protection in various cultures, which makes it even more intriguing. Now onto the dotted inlay detail – this adds an extra touch of intricacy to the already stunning piece. The small dots are meticulously placed within the carved design, creating a visually interesting pattern that enhances the overall aesthetic appeal.

Turtle (Edo:wa): Turtle has always been esteemed because it carries its home on its back and goes with the flow of the river, not against it. In some mythologies, the first North Americans envisioned the continent as a turtle because it was surrounded by water. Turtle reminds us to respect Mother Earth.
