Brown Zoisite bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting, and gathering.
Zoisite was first discovered in Austria by Sigmund Zois, a mineralogist who recognized Zoisite as a new mineral in the year 1805. The green/black variety of Zoisite is actually anyolite, however, this term is not common when describing Ruby in "Zoisite" / Anyolite.
This carving, portraying Brown Zoisite bear has been carved from ruby zoisite, sourced from Northern Tanzania.
