Amazonite Medicine Bear by Kateri Sanchez

A muted white and blue-green colored amazonite medicine bear with jet inlaid eyes carved by Kateri Sanchez. Kateri has incised a dragonfly on the back hind leg - then she inlaid it with jet pigment. There is a striking offering bundle circling the girth with sinew featuring a malachite bead surrounded by garnet, turquoise, apple coral and clam shell beads. The bear is endowed with curative powers, strength, adaptability and courage - powers that can influence both the spiritual and physical realm. Amazonite is a feldspar, which has derived its name from the Amazon River. It is said to have a soothing effect on the nervous system. Since the nervous system controls our emotions a great deal, this stone is said to soothe tense and aggravated situations and to enhance love.
