The Zuni bear symbol is another important symbol to the Zuni tribe. The symbol is a bear shape with an arrow from its mouth swirling to its stomach and a tail; the arrow from the mouth to the stomach is called the heartline, which signifies force. ~Signifies Life Force and Strength of a Warriors Heart~

Turquoise Legends and Myths
As mentioned before turquoise is surrounded by many myths and legends. Native American tribes in particular attributed great powers to this light-blue gemstone. Though it is hard to translate Native American languages to modern English, turquoise is often described as ‘Blue Sky Stone'.
The Apache wore turquoise jewelry to enhance their accuracy and protect them in battle. Even buying today the belief in the power of turquoise is strong. If you wear a turquoise ring or necklace and you see a crack in the stone, to a Native American this would mean that the stone protected you from something that would otherwise have harmed you.
Turquoise Healing Properties
The healing power of turquoise is mostly focused on clearing the mind. Relieving stress and aiding with the clearing of headaches. However it can also hold other powers, such as enhancing the circulation of the blood.
