What is a Fetish? A fetish is a rock carving of an animal that captures the spirit and the essence of the animal, not necessarily its exact detailed conformation. Read more about fetishes.
Horse. The horse is an animal of freedom and the Horse Fetish has the power of healing, strength and safe movement.
Turquoise. Comes in all shades of blue, to blue-green, with a possible shading towards brown-veined greens. Matrix (veining) may or may not be present in any color(s). It is the natural variations in turquoise that make it appealing. The color of turquoise in American Indian jewelry ranges from brownish green to bright blue. The Zuni believe blue turquoise is male and of the sky and green turquoise is female and of the earth.
White mother of pearl.
