The Pīwakawaka or the Fantail are sweet inquisitive wee birds, often bringing messages of endings and new beginnings. They are a wonderful reminder not to take life too seriously.

NZ Serpentine rich black and green hues, is said to be a wonderful stone to create a strong connection to Papatūānuku, aiding in meditation and spiritual exploration. Clears the chakras and opens the crown, creating balance and a sense of control over ones life. Helps to direct healing energy to problem areas.

The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.

When worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone. Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be worn or displayed with respect and pride.

Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute drawstring bag.
