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.
Our Toki style is a statement of nature, strength, and grounding energy, ready to be worn and treasured.

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.
