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.

A beautiful example of our West Coast Serpentinite stone.

Our latest find has us in awe of the creative beauty our New Zealand stones hold. Swirls and waves of texture, patterns and colour just make such a spectacular rock for us to form and create from.

Our Toki style signifies strength, courage and leadership for its wearer, and this King is one beautifully oversized piece.

Definitely for someone who can hold a weightier piece of statement jewellery around their neck!
