Minimal detail so as not to compete with the great striations in the stone.
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.
Argite.
Argite appears in Zuni carvings but little can be found about its origin.
It is similar to Zebra Stone which is a black and white stone from the vicinity
of Prescott, Arizona. It is said to bring out your intuition, tenderness, gentleness
and love. It helps you exercise self-control and understand your chosen destiny.
It stimulates creativity and success. Read
