Deeply woven into the fabric of Māori lore, taniwha are mighty, mystical beings who serve as protectors and guides. When honoured and respected, they become fierce kaitiaki (guardians) not only of people but places as well. With the ability to shapeshift, in the water they could be sharks, whales, giant squids, while on land they could be dragon-like creatures forming a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Chrysoprase is one of the birthstones for May and has traditionally symbolised happiness, enterprise and prudence. It is a powerful stone that brings good fortune and prosperity. It instils you with poise, grace and helps you to recognize the gentle beauty within yourself so you can enjoy self-expression and courage through fluent speech and mental dexterity.

Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute drawstring bag.
