Chee-ya-ma  

A beautifully detailed turtle carved from natural turquoise, showcasing vibrant blue-green tones and unique matrix patterns that make the stone one of a kind. Its deep black eyes create a striking contrast against the turquoise, giving the turtle a gentle and expressive character. The carefully carved shell and body capture the peaceful nature of the turtle, while the smooth, polished finish highlights the natural beauty of the stone.

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.
