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.
