Crashing Wave - Ocean hues Breastplate - Large / Statement on Honey
This captivating breastplate-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 breastplate design, this pendant carries deep cultural significance as a symbol of protection and strength.
What makes this Serpentinite Pounamu truly unique is its slightly porous nature, which allows it to form a deeper connection with its wearer over time. The stone may naturally absorb oils from your skin, causing its colours to deepen and darken as you wear it. This is not a flaw but a beautiful part of the stone’s natural evolution, making it more personal and intimately tied to your journey. As it changes, the breastplate becomes a living stone, growing with you and reflecting your own experiences and energy.
