The delicate image of the tiny, lightning fast hummingbird, (weighing only the weight of a penny), is paired with a magnificent quartz crystal point. These two symbols are then further joined with luminous sterling silver, metal found deep in the earth, and known for its qualities of retaining memory.

The hummingbird is known as the only bird that can fly backwards as well as forwards, suggesting a kind of time traveling or extra sensory ability other birds as symbols lack. Birds in general are often associated with having a place in both the earthly world as well as the spirit world, making them sensitive to death and higher consciousness.

Being relegated to the Western hemisphere only, the hummingbird turns up in native and Aztec lore and myth. Aztecs wore hummingbird fetishes as emblems of strength, and for the image of their sharp beaks; symbolic of bloodletting and piercing. The image was carved onto the shoulders of priests, and hummingbirds were also considered to be reincarnated warriors. This idea is often found in other cultures and thus the hummingbird is often associated with containing the spirits of those who have crossed over.
