Hi, I would love to know more about this large Zuni fetish bear necklace each bear Measures 1.5" inch wide and 1 inch tall
Their are a total of 9 bears can anyone tell me what the bear stones are and what are the small brown beads called and how old this may be I know a couple of the bears stones are turquoise, lapis, Malachi, black onyx, but I don't know what the purple,yellow,brown,red bear stone is the end caps and clasp is marked sterling any more information will be gladly appreciated I hope you enjoyed viewing and reading thanks.
That's gorgeous! Identifying stones isn't my thing, but someone who knows will be along.
How unique! Love it!
the yellow bear could be citrine or amber. The rust could be red sponge coral. The purple is probably block sugilite. The green is malachite. The blue and green could be howlite or chrysocolla. Hoplite is manmade. Block sugilite and block turquoise are manmade, too. I am not an expert, but I do made jewelry with gemstones. Depending on what you paid for it, the end cones could be nickel silver or sterling.
