Origin of the raw material: Mexico. Each animal engraving is unique in its grain of cream, yellow and dark gray bands; the photo shows only one possibility. But you will always receive a gemstone bearin the same quality as shown.
The banded alabaster calcite is also called zebraaragonite.
Already among the Celts the bear was a significant symbol of strength, power and might.
Given their behavior in the annual cycle, bears and she-bears are still considered to symbolize Mother Earth; the large animals live entirely in the rhythm of nature. In the cold season they retreat into a cave, into the womb of Mother Earth, in spring the cubs are born and in summer as well as in autumn they eagerly hunt, eat and lay down the fat deposits for the winter. With the reawakening of nature in spring, the bear also reawakens and faces the challenges of life.
