Aotea Toki Pendant Pendant Measurement - 57mm Plaited Cord Measurement - 60cm Gemstone Place of Origin - South Westland Gemstone Information - Aotea is comprised of an extremely rare mixture of Kyanite (blue), Fuchsite (Green) and Quartz (white), along with a small amount of other associate minerals. Aotea generally originates from a small valley in South Westland, NZ. Aotea is a highly altered Kyanite Schist which has undergone a large metamorphic change, suggesting deep burial in a localised area on the alpine fault. Spiritually it is a very feminine stone, as it helps heal the goddess aspect within the individual. The Toki represents Strength, Determination and Authority. Please note - When worn and body oils soak into Aotea, the minerals can undergo a deep colour transformation, they can change to a very rich green or blue, and can have a beautiful and ethereal translucency to it. This only enhances the beauty of the gemstone. Suspension cords can be shortened if need be before sending, please message me on social media, email me, or leave a note at checkout if you would like this done.
