Butterly pendant in Starry Night design by Navajo artist Lambert Livingston. Sterling inlaid with Lab Opal and Black Jet.

In Navajo mythology, the Butterfly brings the sacred flint to the hooves of the horse. In the legend of the deity, Butterfly Boy was cured of his vanity by being lightning struck with the axe of Rain Boy. After that, his head opened up and out of it came the butterflies of the world. The perishable dust of Butterfly's wings is sometimes thought to prove that such beauty is usually not durable.
