Tangiwai Bowenite Large Toki Pounamu Pendant

Carved by hand in our Arrowtown studio, this Tangiwai (Bowenite) Pounamu Toki carries the rare beauty and deep significance of one of Aotearoa’s most treasured stones. Tangiwai is considered the rarest form of pounamu, traditionally found near the opening of Milford Sound in the remote south-west of New Zealand. Revered for its depth and clarity within layers of rich olive-green tones, this exceptional stone has long been associated with strength, protection, and safe journeys. The toki shape symbolises courage, determination, and leadership — a traditional form worn as a mark of authority and resilience and is complete with adjustable black cord and presented in an eco-friendly box with hand-drawn meaning and care cards, making it a cherished taonga and a meaningful gift for someone special.
