A fantastic Toki beautifully handcrafted from a stunning piece of Aroha stone.
Toki/Adze – The Toki had much meaning for the Māori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for the Māori. That is the reason Māori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol represents Mana, determination, control, strength, focus and honour.
Aroha
stone – Aroha stone is found only in certain parts of Otago and Southland New Zealand. First discovered from the Shotover River in the beautiful mountains of Central Otago, Piemontite Schist stone was initially recorded as a Quartz-Muscovite-Piemontite Schist Boulder.
These gorgeous stones in a stunning pale pink to a deep dark purple contain thousands of little flecks of Mica giving the stone its famous shimmer. They look especially stunning when wet, like dew drops glistening in the morning sun.
The Aroha stone is known to choose its guardian, meaning the stone will speak to you and traditionally it is thought best to be gifted not brought. Aroha is the meaning of “unconditional love” in Māori and carries a feminine energy with an energetic, strong vibration. It is a stone that is said to heal those who may be broken spiritually from addictions, love or the true spiritual self.
