This striking Hapopo Toki
has a bold, elongated form that beautifully showcases the natural character of West Coast pounamu. Soft forest greens blend with darker inclusions and mottled textures, giving the stone a deep, earthy presence. The clean, tapered lines highlight the strength of the piece while allowing the unique patterns of the greenstone to tell their own story, making this a distinctive and powerful pendant.
