Ammolite Medicine Bear by Bernard Laiwakete

$ 175.00

A fantastic fossil ammolite medicine bear with turquoise inlaid eyes and heart line carved by Bernard Laiwakete. Bernard utilizes the iridescent spiral of the fossilized snail shell to great effect - adding a small turquoise, jet, clam and apple coral Zuni sun face to the center of the spiral on the bear's left side. Bernard also inlaid four turquoise dots to the back of the bear's body on the left side - starting behind the heart line. Ammolite is an opal-like organic gemstone found primarily along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of North America, formed from fossilized ammonite shells. Ammolite can increase stamina, relieve trauma and is used in meditation to connect with past lives. Since the snail grows its own shell it's symbolism involves adaptability and growth.
