A wonderful Breastplate handcrafted from a sensational piece of Serpentinite Pounamu. The soft blues and black marbling through the stone is gorgeous, a beautiful taonga.
Breastplate's signified strength and protection in battle. Today they still hold this symbolism but more as a representative scale.
Serpentinite
has amazing healing qualities; to replenish and restore energy in the body, it also creates a protective and energetic field around us. Serpentinite can be a porous stone; in some cases, it will absorb the oils from your skin and deepen the colour of your stone. Each piece of Serpentinite has inclusions of many minerals that make a stunning piece of Artwork. Two or more Serpentine minerals can form a Serpentinite Rock and many other sub varieties of this stunner. This is regarded as one of the three stones that make up the Pounamu family.
