Seeking Info

[topol]

Recently acquired a Brian Yellowhorse 110 and seeking some info on it

First: The symbol of the "Heartline bear" in indian lore generally means:

"The heartline running through the center of the bear, through the heart, signifies that what you take from the outside world into your heart molds you to be either good or evil. The heartline also signifies the spiritual breath of the animal."

Does anyone know if this is part of an indian lore series or just a stand alone knife? Incidentally, the blade is marked 141/500 and Brian Yellowhorse but can not get good pic due to polished blade.

Second: there is a fine line between the red jet lines which I was told was turquoise but on closer inspection it appears to be opel as it "glitters" in bright light which turquoise does not do. Captured pretty good pic of this.
Anyone with info on what this material is?

THANKS.

This particular Yellowhorse edition is termed the "Shush Bear" which I understand to be the Anasazi symbol for the grizzly bear. The materials listed as being used are turquoise, black jet, red bloody jasper, and fire opal. The Yellowhorses (David, Brian, and Ron) have done a number of editions involving Indian lore (Eagle Spirit, Kokopelli, Spirit Stalker, White Eagle, etc.), but none are part of a designated series or set.
