Since you can never have too many Emery bears, we are adding this cutie made from sodalite.
Discovered in 1811 in Greenland, sodalite did not become important as an ornamental stone until 1891 when vast deposits of fine material were discovered in Ontario, Canada. Although somewhat similar to lazurite and lapis lazuli, sodalite rarely contains pyrite (a common inclusion in lapis) and its blue color is more like traditional royal blue rather than ultramarine.
The bears' eyes are inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise. The offering bundle consists of a turquoise arrowhead and turquoise beads, red coral branch and heishe beads wrapped with sinew. Great lil bruin!
