many types of stone, wood, antler, shell and other materials. Often the eyes and
spots of adornment, called power spots, inset pieces of contrasting stones such
as turquoise, turquoise and coral. | |||||||||
What is Zuni Rock?Zuni
rock (travertine, Zuni stone)
is a form of limestone that is deposited by mineral springs. It is mined almost
exclusively by the Leekya family at Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico. Travertine is white
in its pure form, but most often has yellow, brown and gray hues due to the presence
of other minerals. It can be polished to a smooth, shiny finish. The late Zuni
carver Leekya Deyuse was especially noted for carving with Zuni Rock and his descendents
continue to use it in their carvings today. |
