Opalite Sea Turtle by Leland Boone and Daphne Quam

$ 45.00

A small synthetic iridescent opalite sea turtle with coral inlaid eyes carved and delivered to Sunshine Studio by the couple Leland Boone and Daphne Quam. The prominent colors displayed on the turtle are a muted milky white coloration with blue, pink and yellow opalescent streaks. 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.
