A fabulous Yin & Yang pendant handcrafted from Fuchsite and Aroha Stone, with Paua Shell eyes - this piece bonds two different stones together to form a whole greater than the sum of the parts as befits the Yin/Yang symbol. This will be a treasured taonga.
Yin & Yang- is the concept of forces or cosmic principles which are interconnected and which perpetuate each other. They can be thought of as complementary but at the same time opposing forces which together form a system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts.
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.
Fuchsite -
also known as Green Muscovite
and Chrome Mica, is a crystal of the mica family. Its green colour comes from the natural addition of Chromium to its genetic compound. It's usually a very light green stone but it can also be found in a medium to dark green. Fuchsite is a stone full of love and compassionate energy that is here to rejuvenate one's emotional body. In addition to calming your emotional body, this stone will also provide mental clarity to help one connect with their inner self. By taking a deep look in the mirror, one will learn what they need to let go of as well as what it is they need to bring in. By allowing positive energy to flow through your body, you will significantly help yourself along the way.
Paua Shell
– Abalone, our Paua shell is rich and deep in iridescent colours unique to New Zealand. Found all around the rocky shoreline coast but grows best in southern waters. Paua shell has been traditionally used by Maori to illuminate the eyes & features of carvings and artwork. While Paua sits within the abalone family, which is found in other parts of the world, namely, South America, Australia, Western North America, and Japan, our Paua's hidden, bright multi-coloured interior shell is only found in New Zealand.
