About Serpentinite:

A rich and varied stone, serpentinite is one of three pounamu stones used in traditional carving, and one of the most recognisable. A metamorphic stone formed from antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile, this wide mix of minerals produce a stone of immense complexity, and individual pieces can contain colours ranging from deep moss green to aquatic blue, with gold, orange, and brown highlights.

Healing Properties:

A healing stone, serpentinite replenishes and restores energies within the body and creates a protective field around its wearer. Sometimes porous, serpentinite can absorb oils from your skin and its colour may deepen over time - this should not be seen as a flaw but as part of the stone’s natural evolution with its wearer.

This stunning piece of New Zealand Quartz hails from South Westland.

She has a Rustic orange and clean white crystallised look which gives her a unique and eye-catching appearance.

The texture of this rock is incredibly smooth, which is further accentuated by its beautiful glowing tone. It's an excellent representation of the natural beauty that can be found in the South Westland area of New Zealand.

 We collected this rock ourselves, and it holds a special place in our hearts.

About Quartz:

Quartz is a major constituent of the earth’s crust as well as one of the most important rock-forming minerals. The chemical composition of quartz is silicon dioxide (SiO₂) – also known as silica.

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.

This captivating Disc-style pendant, carved from translucent Serpentinite Pounamu, showcases a dreamy blend of soft aqua blues and rich green tones. When light passes through the stone, it glows from within, revealing its vibrant layers and giving it a mystical, almost otherworldly presence.

Hand-carved in the traditional Disc design, this pendant carries deep cultural significance as a symbol of the flowing lines of never-ending love.
