This gorgeous white bear will be the focal point of any bear collection. Of course, he's carved by Stewart Quandelacy so he's perfect in every way! The stone is a beautiful, sparkly specimen of Colorado white marble. You can tell from Dave's beautiful photos that the fine grains within the stone really pickup and catch the light beautifully.

Stewart has inlaid the zig-zag heartline of gorgeous red coral and the eyes are inlaid of turquoise. Beautiful color, fabulously symbolic and Stewart's bears are practically the 'poster children' for all Zuni fetishes! Unsigned. BEAR: The bear represents the western direction in a protective and healing fetish set. He is associated with the color blue and known for his curative powers. Though all bears are healers, white bears are particularly powerful. Characteristics associated with bears include strength, courage, adaptability, healing and spiritual communion.
