Turtles are spiritual messengers of resilience and endurance. Their example in nature or animal medicine teaches life lessons like patience and the importance of taking your time. Celebrate these wonderful qualities in Troy Sice’s bejeweled reptile carved from antler. A myriad of lovely Fox turquoise and rich lapis lazuli cabochons adorn a meticulously etched carapace. Fox turquoise comes from the Fox Turquoise Mine in Lander County, Nevada. Sweet eyes are from lapis inlays, while claws are inlaid with jet. About 2 1/2″ long, 1 1/2″ wide and 1/2″ tall.
