Terry Wilson, Dine-Zuni
Throughout time, alabaster has been a beloved mineral for many civilizations. The ancient Egyptians, Greek sculptors and Renaissance artists utilized it again and again. Alabaster is a form of gypsum, known for a fine grain and alluring translucence. These wonderful qualities allow for detailed carvings and give off a special play of light in finished works. Master carver Terry Wilson's male Mountain-lion (cougar, puma or panther) quietly hunts through turquoise inlaid eyes. Worked from a colorful orange alabaster, face, paw and tail details are exquisitely rendered. About 4 1/2" long, 1 1/4" wide and 1" tall.

An offering bundle is chock full of goodies like warm amber, luscious garnet and other fascinating beads.
Loren Tsalabutie
The Hawai'ian honu or Green Sea Turtle is a sacred water creature representing strength, longevity and wisdom. In creation chants, the honu was born in the realm of pō or darkness, where life originates. Hawai'ian Peoples consider the honu to be aumākua or spiritual guardians. Atlantisite is a naturally occurring combination of green serpentine and purple stichtite. Master carver Loren Tsalabutie's sea Turtle has been fluidly shaped from a green serpentine-rich atlantisite specimen to a size of approximately 3 1/2" long, 3" wide and 1 1/4" tall. Little eyes are from turquoise inlays.
Salvador Romero, Cochiti
Salvador Romero's Turtle first took its natural shape from a found stone. On long hikes rock hunting, Salvador sees the animal in the stone beforehand. We love the somewhat elongated form, measuring about 3 3/4" long, 1 1/2" wide and 3/4" tall. Turtles consume plants, insects and other animals, counterbalancing these populations. As they graze, seeds are deposited.
