Lu-na-see & So-see-ah 

A bear carved from fluorite stands solid and grounded, its form smooth yet powerful, embodying quiet strength. The stone’s natural bands of color—purples, and clear crystal—flow through its body like shifting light in deep water. In some places, the fluorite is translucent, catching and bending light so the bear seems to hold a subtle glow within. Set into its face are vivid turquoise eyes, their bright, sky-blue intensity striking against the cool, variegated tones of the stone. The blend of fluorite’s ethereal beauty with the bear’s enduring form gives the carving an almost mystical presence, as if it bridges the realms of earth and spirit.

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.
