Hand carved Chrysocolla Made from natural chrysocolla with a spot of hematite. This buffalo is the perfect addition to your family.
The name chrysocolla comes from the Greek chrysos, "gold", and kolla, "glue", in allusion to the name of the material used to solder gold, and was first used by Theophrastus in 315 BCE. It is usually found as rounded masses and crusts, or vein fillings. Chrysocolla is one of the lesser known gemstones, with traces of copper, iron and manganese oxide
According to traditional beliefs, chrysocolla alleviates fear, guilt and nervous tension.
The Buffalo signifies endurance to overcome and is an emotional courage provider to all. In the Lakota language Tatanka is translated to Buffalo or Buffalo Bull. However to Native Lakota speakers the literal translation is something more like "He who owns us".
What a special way to recall the beauty of the Black Hills, Custer State Park and the Buffalo.
