Gitche Gumee Medicine Collar

$395.00

A relic of water, forest, bone, and ancient stone.

This one-of-a-kind medicine collar is built around a real pine marten skull, reverently transformed through electroforming into a wearable spirit talisman. The skull has been adorned with three sacred stones of the Great Lakes region and the green heart of the forest:

• Michigan Greenstone (Chlorastrolite) — a rare stone formed over a billion years ago in ancient lava flows beneath Lake Superior

• Raw Emerald — a crystal of heart-wisdom, protection, and sovereign power

• Lake Superior Prehnite — a gentle but powerful stone of intuition, prophecy, and spirit-guidance

Together, these stones anchor this piece as a true Great Lakes medicine object, not just jewelry.

Materials & Sacred Components

This collar carries the language of the wild in every detail:

• Electroformed pine marten skull

• Raw emerald

• Lake Superior prehnite

• Michigan Greenstone (chlorastrolite)

• Quartz points for amplification

• Coyote teeth (guardian & trickster energy)

• Antler slice (ancestral strength and protection)

• Electroformed motherwort leaves (the plant of the heart-mother and protector of the nervous system)

• Turkey feathers (grounded flight, abundance, and earth-honoring spirit)

• Chains, charms, and copper talismanic elements

The copper collar has been shaped to sit across the collarbones like a ceremonial torque, letting the skull and relics rest over the heart and throat.

The Spirit of the Pine Marten

The pine marten is a forest spirit — swift, clever, curious, fiercely independent, and deeply tied to hidden places. In folklore and indigenous symbolism, marten energy represents:

• Navigation through shadow

• Stealth and spiritual agility

• Protection while traveling between worlds

• A guardian of secrets and old forests

This piece was created as a medicine collar — a talisman meant to be worn in ritual, meditation, creative work, or as a daily anchor for those who walk between wildness and modern life.

Energy & Intention

This collar carries the essence of:

Deep forest + ancient lake + bone memory

It is a piece for:

• witches

• forest folk

• healers

• artists

• spirit-walkers

• those called to the Great Lakes

• those reclaiming ancestral wildness

It does not want to be worn lightly.

It wants to be chosen.

One of a Kind

This is a true one-of-one relic.

No two bones, stones, or spirits are ever the same — this piece cannot and will not be recreated.
