This exquisite piece of artwork combines two elements that are near and dear to the heart of Michigan locals – bears and Petoskey stones. The unique charm of this carving lies in its craftsmanship and the use of the state's official stone, Petoskey. Sourced from the shores of Lake Michigan, Petoskey stones boast a distinct pattern resembling honeycomb-like shapes, caused by prehistoric coral fossils. 

Bear (Anshe): Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo People and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes. Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear‚ hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
