Who doesn't love Emery bears? I can't imagine a Zuni fetish collection without at least a few of them! Emery's carvings (mostly bears!) are always colorful, nicely rendered and beautifully finished. And he's kept his prices affordable for most collectors to have at least a fistful!

This elongated bear is carved of septarian nodule. Septarian nodules were formed 50 to 70 million years ago. When volcanic eruptions killed the surrounding sea life .. the decomposing bodies were chemically attracted to the sediment around them, forming mud balls. And as the ocean receded, the balls then dried and cracked. Containing bentonite they shrank in size which created crack inside. Over time (lots of it!) decomposed shells seeped down into the cracks and calcite crystals were formed. The outer thin walls of calcite then transformed into aragonite. Septarians are composed of Calcite (The Yellow Centers), Aragonite Brown Lines), and outer grey rock is Limestone. It's a very cool rock and this is a very handsome bear. His offering bundle is rainbow calsilica, turquoise and red coral. He is signed (!!!!!) which we are seeing more and more previously non-signing carvers do. Don't miss him!
