Labradorite is a lustrous and iridescent stone known for its striking play of colors, reflecting hues of blue, green, gold, and even purple. The shades of blues and greens found within the labradorite add an ethereal touch to the piece, giving it a sense of depth and life. When light hits its smooth surface, it creates a magical display as the colors dance and shift. This bear carved out of labradorite not only serves as a truly captivating decorative item but also carries symbolic meanings such as strength, protection, and transformation associated with bears in many cultures.
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.
