Silver Lace Onyx Mountain Lion by Chris Sandoval

$ 200.00

A striking white, cream, brown, black and dark umber veined Calico, CA quarried sliver lace onyx mountain lion carved by Chris Sandoval looking straight ahead with turquoise inlaid eyes and with a tail carved in the traditional Zuni style; wrapping over the lion's back. Chris has given the lion a simple offering bundle with sinew - featuring two spiny oyster and three turquoise beads surrounded by melon and pen shell heishi. Silver lace onyx is a unique and rare stone - it is only found in the Calico Mountains outside of Yermo, California. Silver lace onyx is a type of onyx (chalcedony) that can contain minute amounts of silver. This stone is traditionally used by wise women or shamans. It is said to enable safe passage into other worlds and provides strong protection while doing so. For the Zuni, the lion represents the guardian of the north - he is the master hunter, revered for intelligence, prowess and strength of will. The mountain lion enjoys the prestige of being one of the most capable predators, and therefore conveys to man a spirit to refine goals, preserve, and achieve.
