About Aotea:

Aotea is an extremely rare stone that comes from a single river in Westland - the only place in the world where it can be found. Comprised of fuchsite, kyanite, and quartz, Aotea is also known as bluestone due to its brilliant hues that can range from icy blue to deep turquoise. Softer than pounamu, Aotea is generally regarded as a feminine stone and frequently contains a gem-like glitter due to the mica contained within the quartz.

A grounding stone, Aotea activates the heart and throat chakras and is said to release the inner goddess of its wearer.

A distinctive feature of quartz is its hardness, which means that it polishes well and is not easily broken. The appearance of quartz is variable – it may be coloured or colourless; transparent, cloudy or opaque.

The many varieties of quartz can be divided into two main groups: crystalline quartz and very fine-grained (or cryptocrystalline) quartz, which includes chalcedony, agate, chert, flint and jasper.
