Jasper Medicine Bear by Chris Sandoval

$ 400.00

A small striking prominent swirling dark gray, black and brown sienna colored Morrisonite.jasper medicine bear with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Chris Sandoval. Morrisonite jasper is primarily found in a specific area of the Owyhee Mountains in Oregon, near the Idaho border, and most of it was mined out decades ago. Morrisonite jasper is a highly prized, orbicular jasper known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Chris mentioned that this stone is often called "the King of Jaspers" due to its unique beauty. Morrisonite is known for its grounding and stabilizing properties in metaphysical practices. It is believed to promote emotional stability, enhance creativity, and support personal growth by encouraging self-awareness and positive change. The medicine bear shape is thought to resemble a cave opening - depicting a bear coming out of hibernation and the pose is the bear sniffing the ground for healing herbs. The Zuni believe the bear is endowed with curative powers, strength, adaptability and courage - powers that can influence both the spiritual and physical realm.
