Not only is hickorite a gorgeous and rare gemstone, but the intricate carving of the beaver showcases incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail. The warm, earthy tones of the Mexican hickorite perfectly complement the natural subject matter of a beaver, making this piece truly unique and eye-catching. The choice of using hickorite adds an extra layer of significance to the artwork, as it is said to bring strength, balance, and grounding energy to its wearer or owner. 

Beavers (Biha) are extremely energetic and exhibit great diligence in whatever they do. Their willingness to participate in purposeful and cooperative activity is part of their medicine. We can learn a great deal from this singular quality. Whether building their underwater lodges, repairing dams, or taking care of their kits, beavers do it with zeal. This is why we have the expression, “eager beaver.” They are gentle creatures who show us that working hard can be its own reward.
