This turtle fetish is a shining example of the soft lines of Brion Hatties powerful carvings.  Its adorned with turquoise eyes and sits perfectly in a palm, pocket or on a shelf. It is fairly rare to see fetishes carved out of this material (pyrite aka "fools gold") due to the hardness of the stone. The name Pyrite comes from the Greek word "pyr" meaning fire, because it was found that sparks would fly from it if struck against another mineral.

Turtle Medicine:

Turtle is the oldest symbol for Mother Earth and the personification of grounding, goddess energy. Turtle medicine honors the creative source that abides within. Like turtle’s shell, this medicine protects us from hurt, envy, jealousy and the unconsciousness in ourselves and in others. It also asks us to be mindful of the cycle of give and take.
