    This is a turtle carved from beautiful pipestone with inlaid turquoise body adornments and eyes. A very cute, traditional good sized, bigger 1.2 ounce, basically earthy brown multicolor rough natural stone spotted sea turtle with it's flippers out purchased by us quite a few years ago directly from Dave. Old man Dave no longer carves due to diabetes, amputations, and general ill health. A real collector's traditional fetish!
    Approximate dimensions in inches are: 2 5/16" length X 1 1/2" width X 9/16" height.
    Certificate of authenticity will be enclosed with your purchase.
    The turtle is a symbol of patience, quiet, longevity, loyalty, peace, confidence, love, protection, knowledge, courage, creativity, intelligence, spiritual protection, compassion, fertility, and sexuality.
    Pipestone (catlinite) is considered a sacred stone by Native American Indians with the red color representing blood, a protective device, used to enhance skills.
    Turquoise is said to enhance the joy of life, warn of danger, heal sadness and grief, induce wisdom, understanding, strength, good health, courage, success, love, good fortune, and is called the lucky stone.
    Pictures are of the actual native American Indian fetish you are bidding on. Fetish 15,185
