Ocean hues tooth - Small on Honey
Regular price $100.00This captivating piece of translucent Serpentinite Pounamu showcases a dreamy blend of soft aqua blues and rich green tones, creating a truly mesmerizing effect. When the light touches the stone, it seems to glow from within, revealing its vibrant layers and creating an almost ethereal presence.
Lovingly hand-carved in the traditional Tooth/Niho style, this pendant carries deep cultural significance to the land, symbolizing the courage, strength, and leadership of its wearer.
The Niho design, once used as a practical tool, now represents a powerful reminder of resilience and determination. Wearing this piece connects you not only to New Zealand’s rich cultural heritage but also to the timeless strength of the natural world.
What makes this Serpentinite even more unique is its slightly porous nature, which allows it to develop a deeper connection with its wearer over time. The stone may absorb natural oils from your skin, causing its colours to deepen and darken. Rather than a flaw, this gradual transformation is a reflection of the stone’s natural evolution, making it even more personal as it adapts to your own energy and experiences.
The pendant comes with a hand-braided, adjustable cord made from durable waxed polyester, ensuring comfort and longevity. The cord is designed for easy adjustment, allowing you to wear the pendant at your preferred length.
