Large Kawakawa Pounamu Toki Pendant
Description
A striking large toki pendant in Kawakawa pounamu (greenstone), with rich green colouring and softly mottled natural markings. Its long, clean-lined shape and gently rounded lower edge let the stone take centre stage, complemented by brown cord binding and a matching cord.
The toki takes its name and form from the traditional Māori adze, a tool used for carving and shaping. As a pendant, it is commonly associated with strength, courage and determination, making it a thoughtful gift to recognise resilience, celebrate an achievement or mark a new chapter.
The polished surface brings out the texture and tonal variation of the pounamu, giving this piece its distinctive character.
Pounamu type: Kawakawa
Design: Toki (adze)

Taking care of your Taonga
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.
