Honey Badger, Zuni Fetish by Lena Boone

Description

This piece has sold.

This life like badger has been artistically carved out of honey calcite by well known carver, Lena Boone.  I own more of her carvings than any other artist!  What hooks me is her gentle capture of the spirit of the animal in the stone.  She has an eye for finding beautiful material and then taking away everything that isn’t the badger.  The arrowhead is of pink mussel shell and represents protection in battle.  The turquoise and coral are gifts of gratuity, thanking the spirit of the animal for its beauty and guidance.

Badger is a keeper of stories, of the knowledge of healing lore of the things below the earth –  the minerals and roots.  Badger represents self-reliance and self-expression.

Calcite comes in many colors and is usually brought up from Mexico to the carvers.  The energy of Honey Calcite is beneficial for  focus, clarity, finding the source of energetic blocks and gracefully moving through them especially when it is about letting in infinite abundance.
