IGNITION
Hand carved from New Zealand Jade. The beautiful colour results from heating the jade - it changes from the characteristic green to this glorious orange/red.
Early coal miners discovered this when using jade boulders from their tailings to build fireplaces - the heat from the fires changed the stone's colour to a coalescence of orange and red hues. You can best see these in the video.
The toki is a tribal symbol representing strength. It is designed to honour the adze which was used to build, fight, defend and played a important role in the daily survival of ancient tribes.
We will also include one of our 'Kia Ora' cards, which explains the meaning behind the Toki design.
Delivery to you with DHL Express Courier is included in the price.
