Zoo-knee
Wood agate, a type of chalcedony quartz, is known for its stunning array of colors, swirling patterns, and translucent properties. Carving this material into the form of a hummingbird allows for an intricate depiction of the bird's delicate features, such as its long beak, iridescent feathers, and swift hovering motion. The choice of wood agate adds an organic warmth to the carving and enhances its natural beauty.
Hummingbird (Ts'uyya): Hummingbird bring beauty and joy to the world. Their jewel-like colors and rapid movements startle us, focusing our attention on this unique moment and the precious wonder of now. Hummingbirds migrate incredible distances and must consume great quantities of nectar to support their long journey. Darting from flower to flower, hummingbird tastes the sweet essence and nectar of life. When we experience joy we are more receptive to love. Hummingbird medicine opens our hearts.
