A stunningly beautiful Toki handcrafted from an incredibly gorgeous piece of prized Marsden Flower Jade. This simple design allows the magnificent colours and markings of the natural stone to shine.

The Toki (Adze) – The Toki had much meaning for the Maori, fashioned from stone or greenstone it was an essential tool for survival and day to day life for the Maori. That is the reason Maori attribute the spiritual meaning of strength and power to the Toki. This symbol resembles determination, control, strength, focus and honour.

This a Genuine West Coast Marsden Flower Jade Greenstone from the Marsden, West Coast area. A highly translucent, light-ish green shade, free from dark spots and other flaws. One of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by the Maori. The most prized Greenstone in New Zealand is flower jade, Greenstone with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring comes from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
