This gorgeous collection of Otago pink Rhodonite has spectacular cloudy markings that are also translucent.

Pink tones peek through a mostly lilac and creamy-toned base stone. A truly unique stone, she is collected by us on the lower east coast of New Zealand's South Island., this taonga is an excellent example of our only two east coast stones.

Features:

• -  Hand-braided, adjustable waxed polyester cord

Size:

• - 1.5 x 1.5cm

• About Rhodonite:

  A vivid pink stone with highlights of white, brown, and occasionally purple, rhodonite is formed from manganese silicate and is usually found with a black ‘rind’ of pyrolusite. Its colour can range from light candyfloss pink to garnet red, and its soft, feminine hues balance the strong forms of our carvings. We gather for our pink rhodonite by hand just south of Dunedin and it is the only stone from the east coast that we work with.

  Pink rhodonite is associated with the heart chakra and provides emotional healing, energetic grounding and the restoration of balance by unblocking the throat and heart chakras.

Another lost slice was recently found in our workshop of the unique mossy Aotea with blue Kyanite inclusions.

A gorgeous mix of Kyanite Fuchsite and oxidised minerals throughout.

Findings/Features:

• - Hand-made rolled gold hooks- 2.5cm

  Size:

• -  9 x 4cm

About Aotea

(Please not this stone is NOT Aotea but contains some of the same minerals, she is newly discovered and we will add more information as we learn more)

An incredibly rare stone, Aotea 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.
