A beautiful Toki handcrafted from a piece of Kahurangi Flower Pounamu with wonderful colour and patterns, this will make a great 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.
This a Genuine West Coast Kahurangi Greenstone from the Marsden, West Coast area. A highly translucent, light-ish green shade, free from dark spots and other flaws. One of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by the Maori.
The most prized Greenstone in New Zealand is Flower
Jade ,
Greenstone with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
