Believed to bestow strength of character, it guides the wearer towards loyalty, clarity, and keen perception. Often carved with its tongue protruding, the tiki wards off negativity, serving as both a spiritual guardian and a beacon of good fortune. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone.
