A amazing Toki carved from a really stunning piece of Golden Bay Stone, with similar composition as Aotea but with a few extra things this carving is very special. The glow of the blue/green and gold in this piece are so beautiful this will make a fantastic gift.
The Toki(Adze) – The Toki had much meaning for the Maori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for the Maori. That is the reason Maori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol resembles determination, control, strength, focus and honour.
One of New Zealand's rarest crystals Aotea is unique to South Westland NZ, Jacobs Creek. Rarer than NZ Greenstone, Aotea comprises of Kyanite(blue) Fuchsite(green) and Quartz(white & yellow). Because of the different compositions of the stone no two pieces will ever be the same making each piece unique and different. The stone’s characteristics speak for this feminine energy too. According to gemologists and those who understand precious gemstones’ properties, kyanite stimulates intuition and personal truth. Fuchsite is said to support a sense of self-worth. And quartz is said to absorb and regulate energy. For those in tune with stones’ spiritual and healing powers, this is a special one.
Its origins as a semi-precious stone are like pounamu in the way that it was formed - under tremendous pressure and extreme heat many years ago - but its makeup of different types of stone is what makes it unique.
Fuchsite,
also known as Green Muscovite and Chrome Mica, is a crystal of the mica family. Its green colour comes from the natural addition of Chromium to its genetic compound. It's usually a very light green stone but it can also be found in a medium to dark green. Fuchsite is a stone full of love and compassionate energy that is here to rejuvenate one's emotional body. In addition to calming your emotional body, this stone will also provide mental clarity to help one connect with their inner self. By taking a deep look in the mirror, one will learn what they need to let go of as well as what it is they need to bring in. By allowing positive energy to flow through your body, you will significantly help yourself along the way.
