Aotea Droplet Pendant

Pendant measurement - 63mm 
Sterling Silver Chain - 50cm 

Aotea is comprised of an extremely rare mixture of Kyanite (blue), Fuchsite (Green) and Quartz (white), along with a small amount of other associate minerals. Aotea generally originates from a small valley in South Westland, NZ. Aotea is a highly altered Kyanite Schist which has undergone a large metamorphic change, suggesting deep burial in a localised area on the alpine fault. Spiritually it is a very feminine stone, as it helps heal the goddess aspect within the individual.

The droplet symbolizes healing and comfort.

Please note - When worn and body oils soak into Aotea, the minerals can undergo a deep colour transformation, they can change to a very rich green or blue, and can have a beautiful and ethereal translucency to it. This only enhances the beauty of the gemstone.

Artist Comment - Ive really enjoyed creating these shaped pendants, they display the stone so nicely, and feel amazing in the hand. This particular one has the most vibrant blue Kyanite within.
