Spirit Animal 1.25-inch Squirrel Dolomite

A squirrel carved in dolomite. A squirrel buries more than it ever gets back, and the ones it leaves behind become trees. It also fakes burials when it thinks it is being watched, digging an empty hole and patting the earth down over nothing.

So it is the animal for preparation, for thrift, and for keeping some of your business to yourself. Keep it where you plan: near a calendar, a budget, or the pile of things you are saving for later.

How to Use It

Small carvings work best when they are somewhere you actually pass. On a desk, in a coat pocket, on the windowsill above the sink. Pick it up when you want the reminder and put it down when you do not. If you keep an altar, it can hold the animal's corner of it, and it travels well in a pouch if you are working away from home.

Good to Know

Carved by hand from dolomite, roughly 1.25 inches. Every piece is worked from natural stone, so color, veining and the exact set of the features shift from one to the next and yours will not be identical to the photo. Dolomite is a soft stone. Keep it off the edge of a hard surface and wipe it with a dry cloth rather than washing it.

Pair It With

The rest of the shelf is carved from the same stone, so they sit together without anything clashing: Hedgehog Spirit Animal and Lucky Pig Spirit Animal. Give it a proper seat with the Goddess Sphere Stand or set it beside a lit chime candle in the white ceramic holder. More carved pieces in crystal carvings.
