This piece of lapis has tiny little nuggets of material compressed together to form the stone. One can tell it took an incredible amount of heat and pressure to form this gem of a singing bear. The Hindu Kush area of the Iranian/Afghanistani/Pakistani/Indian/Chinese Himalayas has been fought over for centuries for its prize concentration of lapis since ancient times. The gems of Egyptian pharoahs and Sumerian kings came from this piece of earth which is very very high up and full of earthquakes, landslides and avalanches. Thus its expense as a gemstone, its desireability to acquire for carving and its difficulty to get out of the ground from there to Zuni and then to you!


The eyes are inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise and although it is hard to see the fetish is initialed CLP Z in typical fashion. The simple offering bundle consists of turquoise and red coral beads tied with sinew. Really striking stone!
