WHAT IS A FETISH CARVING:“Fetish" is a term used to describe a Native American carving which is believed to hold special power. Although a number of Native American tribes create and use fetishes, the most well known are the Zuni. American Indians have used Fetishes throughout recorded history; especially the Indians of the Southwest. Fetishes can be carved in any form or material. Most Fetishes are made from semi-precious stones, minerals and shells which are of natural beauty that are the gifts that nature has provided us. Regardless of the form or material however, a Fetish has one paramount purpose; to assist man against any real or potential problems. The problems can be those of the mind, the body or the universe. Fetish carvings typically relate to animals, and often they are animals of prey. According to ancient Native American Indian beliefs, stone animals were thought to be a source of aid to a particular person, family or tribe in a time of need. The shape of carved stone animal fetishes often determined the kind of aid a fetish would provide. RHODOCHROSITE & RHODONITE GEMSTONES:Many people confuse rhodonite and rhodochrosite beyond the stones’ names. Their appearances are also fairly similar. Both the rhodochrosite stone and the rhodonite gem are predominately pink, but what sets them apart tends to be the veining and banding. While both of these stones can vary in transparency, many of the stones of each type that you find in jewelry are opaque. As with many stones, rhodochrosite and rhodonite are technically minerals. Both feature manganese, though the rhodonite stone is a carbonate mineral while the rhodonite gem is a silicate. Rhodonite Stones:Rhodonite stones are a type of silicate with pink/red colored with veins, or "roads". A prominent matrix of black manganese oxide is found in these stones, which contrasts starkly with the pink. While veining does occur, it does not produce the characteristic parallel lines seen in rhodochrosite. Rhodonite is also called manganite in some markets. Rhodochrosite Stones: Rhodochrosite is a carbonate mineral that normally occurs in pink or red tones, with white swirls of Manganese Carbonate. These white or gray bands tend to be mainly parallel to one another, though they also exhibit some wobbling. Rhodochrosite is notoriously difficult to cut, which is why its main use is as a crystal collector’s piece, especially the transparent specimens. Spiritual Healing Properties:Both of these stones work with the Heart Chakra, and are excellent at clearing the Root Chakra. They promote self love, the love of others, and the attraction of love into your life. Rhodonite is usually associated with balance and calm. Some also associate with love and forgiveness, as well as a stone for grounding negative energies. Others believe it represents strength and physical vitality. When it comes to the rhodochrosite meaning, some think it relates strongly to both compassion and love. Others believe it can bring comfort, reduce stress, and promote self-esteem. While many believe in the rhodonite and rhodochrosite healing properties, the gems aren’t substitutes for proper medical care.
