A fabulous Heart handcrafted from Nelson Golden Bay Polychrome Schist and Aroha Stone - this piece bonds two different stones together with a lightning motif running down the centre. This will be a treasured taonga.
Heart
pendants symbolise love, deep affection or, appreciation for someone and are not unique to one type of love. They are the ideal gift to represent friendship, devotion, affection and romantic and enduring love, they convey a powerful statement about love, which makes them an ideal gift for just about anyone. Hearts can be given to show your love for your mother or other family members, a great way to show your love if you are far apart. It is also a great way to show appreciation for your BFF or even yourself, allowing the piece to represent a personal meaning or a remembrance for a loved one who has passed. When you give a person, you love a heart inspired piece of jewellery you are giving them a piece of you. Each time they wear it they will be reminded of you.
Aroha Stone
– Aroha stone is found only in certain parts of Otago and Southland New Zealand. First discovered from the Shotover River in the beautiful mountains of Central Otago, Piemontite Schist stone was initially recorded as a Quartz-Muscovite-Piemontite Schist Boulder.
Golden Bay Polychrome Schist- Also called 'Obay Stone" named after the man who found it. She has blue-green and orange tones with standout black iron inclusions. A gorgeous mix of Kyanite, Fuchsite and oxidised minerals throughout. These features are near impossible to capture in photographs. Because of the different compositions of the stone no two pieces will ever be the same making each piece unique and different. Its origins as a semi-precious stone are like pounamu in the way that it was formed - under tremendous pressure and extreme heat many years ago - but its makeup of different types of stone is what makes it unique and is a true collector's piece.
(Please not this stone is NOT Aotea but contains some of the same minerals, she is newly discovered, and we will add more information as we learn more).
