Large Sodalite Niho Taniwha(taniwha tooth)

A large Niho Taniwha carved in Aotearoa New Zealand from sodalite stone sourced from Brazil. This piece brings the tooth-inspired design together with sodalite, a mineral known for its rich royal-blue colouring and white calcite veining.

Niho Taniwha means taniwha tooth. The design represents guardianship, strength and courage, connecting this piece with the protective role of taniwha in Te Ao Māori. A meaningful piece to wear or gift.

In crystal traditions, sodalite is associated with the Throat and Third Eye chakras, clarity, intuition and calm communication. These are spiritual associations rather than guaranteed effects.

Wearing your Pounamu close to your skin can help it maintain its polish. This is because it naturally absorbs oils from your skin, which will give it a special connection to you.

To further care for your taonga, you can oil it using any natural household oils or fats such as

• olive oil
• coconut oil
• vegetable oil
• tallow

Doing so will help ensure that it remains sparkling and beautiful for many years to come.
