I know we bought this bear at the (then) Pueblo of Zuni Arts & Crafts. They had an entire case of chrysocolla carvings. I tried to imagine all that stone in it's birthplace. There must have been a huge hole!

In any case, it's one of my favorite stones, next to turquoise and we bought our fair share! I really liked Jimmy Yawakia's work, but we never had an opportunity to meet him. This beauftiful, rounded medicine bear is the most glorious color, like the ocean in the Caribbean. It's an awesome deep, blue green. Chrysocolla forms from copper deposits like turquoise and malachite does, and frankly, this could even be turquoise or strangely patterned malachite. I'm not sure what differiniates the three stones apart from some minimal chemistry. And I don't like chemistry. But I like this bear. You will, too. Turquoise eyes, initialed on the bottom.
