Calcite is this gorgeous mineral that comes in all sorts of colors, from glowing whites and yellows to deep oranges and browns. The translucent nature of calcite allows light to pass through, giving the bear an ethereal glow that almost makes it come alive. 

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.
