This bear is carved out of jet, a light-weight material that is the result of ancient wood remaining under extremely high pressure for several million years. Although jet is derived from organic material and is not a mineral, it is still classified as a gemstone.

Bear Medicine:

The strength of Bear medicine is the power of introspection. Bear seeks honey, or the sweetness of Truth. Many tribes call this inner-knowing The Dream Lodge, where the death of the illusion of physical reality overlays the expansiveness of Eternity. It is in the Dream Lodge that our ancestors sit in Council and guide us to our goals. In the Bear cave, in silence, other levels of consciousness can manifest, aiding in our dreams becoming reality.
