This distinctive Moko Pounamu Curved Toki (Adze) pendant is carved from NZ genuine Kawakawa pounamu, featuring deep green tones with subtle natural patterning that enhances the character of the stone.
What makes this piece particularly unique is its gentle carved bend, giving the Toki a flowing, organic shape that feels both natural and intentional. The soft curve adds movement and individuality to the pendant, making it stand out from traditional straight Toki forms while still maintaining its strong symbolic presence.
The rich green body of the Kawakawa stone is complemented by faint natural variations and subtle markings that reflect the stone’s natural formation. The polished finish highlights these features while preserving the authenticity of the pounamu.
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. it comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
Toki/Adze – The Toki had much meaning for the Māori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for the Māori. That is the reason Māori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol represents Mana, determination, control, strength, focus and honour.
