Mauri

The Mauri is a unique pounamu toki pendant, carved from pale to mid green inanga pounamu. Its dimensions of 8cm in length and 12mm in thickness create a solid and substantial piece. Enhanced by pipiwharauroa shimmer, Mauri invites a tangible connection with the holder.

The toki represents the Māori symbols of power, authority, and control. Once a tool of master craftspeople, the pendant embodies strength and courage. Wearing it signifies the desire to shape destiny with wisdom and integrity. Mauri thus bridges the gap between the wearer and their cultural heritage, symbolizing a bond with the land and its spiritual energy.

You can see a video of the shimmer in this link on youtube shorts.
