Greenstone~Pounamu Adze/Toki (9.0x3.5cm)L

Handcrafted Pounamu Adze/Toki Pendant (Large)

This large Toki pendant is expertly handcrafted from genuine New Zealand pounamu (greenstone), a taonga (treasure) deeply rooted in Māori culture. Traditionally worn by chiefs and skilled individuals, the Toki represents strength, courage, leadership, and determination.

Each pendant is unique, shaped by the natural variations in the stone and the hands of the carver. Measuring approximately 9cm in length and 3.5cm wide, it comes with an adjustable side-slider cord, allowing it to be worn close to the heart or lower on the chest — in alignment with personal preference and meaning.

Wearing pounamu is a way to carry the mauri (life force) of the stone and the wairua (spirit) of the land it comes from. Whether worn as a personal reminder of inner strength or gifted as a symbol of respect and connection, this Toki carries mana and meaning.
