A beautiful example of our Serpentinite stone.
The 9 Stars of Matariki •
6: Waitā
These gorgeous taonga in this collection hold deep navy and ash tones.
With bursts of rustic clusters and rivers of paler colouring like the milky way, she really is a portrait to imitate the night sky.
A magical work from mother nature to Match the rising of the Matariki Stars.
The sixth star is Waitā (twin of Waitī) which is associated with the ocean and represents food gathered from the sea. This star is also significant for its influence over tides and floodwaters.
You can look upon this star to set intentions of protecting our salt waters and living creatures within. This can involve practising environmentally sustainable practices such as conserving water, reducing waste and fishing responsibly.

About Serpentinite:
A rich and varied stone, serpentinite is one of three pounamu stones used in traditional carving, and one of the most recognizable. A metamorphic stone formed from antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile, this wide mix of minerals produce a stone of immense complexity, and individual pieces can contain colours ranging from deep moss green to aquatic blue, with gold, orange, and brown highlights.
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.
