Something Different

Golden hues kissed with luminous white - New Zealand beach quartz at her absolute finest. 

Over millions of years, the wild coastline of South Westland has worked its magic, as iron-rich minerals gently transformed this quartz into flowing ribbons of warm amber, honey and golden orange.

Each wave tells a story of time, tide and nature, creating a stone that can never be replicated.

This variation has a silky texture and an incredible glow that catches the light from every angle. Hand-gathered by us from the remote South Westland coastline just two months ago, this is one of only a handful of pieces we were fortunate enough to find.

A truly one-of-a-kind taonga, shaped over millions of years and now ready for her forever home.

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 rare variation carries striking red tones, and an incredible depth that catches the light so beautifully she glows.
