Bee Pendant with Amethyst
Working in the garden is a great way to de-stress. It's a visceral act that arouses all the senses as you see, hear, smell, and touch the plants and soil in the garden. As your attention turns to being more present with the plants, your stress and anxiety begin to fade. Being in the garden is a great antidote to the stresses and strains of everyday life. Take time to smell the roses, pull a few weeds, admire the busy bees, and listen to the birds chirping away while they fly effortlessly through the air. Don't you feel better already, just thinking about it?
The bee body is hand carved from fossilized walrus ivory, which is 500-3,000 years old. It comes from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, where the native Yupik have exclusive rights to gather and sell this ancient material. Fossilized walrus ivory takes on a range of tones from cream to deep cocoa, depending on the minerals surrounding it in the soil.
