Azurite & Malachite Turtle by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam

$ 36.00

A white, brown, green and blue colored azurite/malachite turtle carved by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam with coral inlaid eyes that look up at the viewer with coral inlaid eyes. The couple chose not to incise the scutes on the shell and the body has a few voids left around the turtle's back left foot. Indigenous people recognize the turtle as the symbol of Mother Earth - some Native Americans believe that the turtle contributed to creation because the turtle dove into the primeval waters to retrieve mud to create Mother Earth. The turtle is regarded as a skillful navigator through life's difficulties. Turtle medicine teaches one to go with the flow.
