Agate, in case you didn't know, is a type of chalcedony quartz that comes in various colors and patterns. Laced agate specifically features delicate bands of different hues running through it like rippling waves. Carving intricate details into laced agate takes a steady hand and keen eye for harmonizing the stone's natural patterns with the bear's form.

Bear (Anshe): Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo People and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes. Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear‚ hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
