This beautiful Long Band Lashed Toki Drop is made from top quality New Zealand Greenstone and is finished with a knotted whipping lashing on a fully adjustable black waxed cord.
Greenstone(Pounamu) Drop Pendants/Carvings are similar to the Toki blade. According to a Maori myth, they represent the tears of crying albatross birds.
Carved from Marsden Flower Pounamu this type of stone comes from an area outside Greymouth on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island.
It also comes in a type called ‘flower jade’ – this is generally the part of the stone closest to the outside that is showing the greatest degree of inclusion and oxidation. This results in gorgeous colors – golds, reddish browns and a wide array of greens.
