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.

Beaver is industrious and diligent - represents achievement, hard work and family unity.

What is Travertine?

Travertine (Zuni stone) - is a porous rock that formed of calcium carbonate.

Pure travertine is white, but often is brown to yellow due to impurities (other than carbonate minerals). Read about stones
