Niho Marama – Tooth of Radiant Light Pounamu/Greenstone Niho (Tooth) made from a beautiful Nelson Pounamu/diopside mix.

The Niho Marama pendant is a representation of clarity, enlightenment, and inner strength. Hand-carved from pounamu, its vibrant yellow and white tones reflect the radiance of light breaking through the darkness, offering guidance and warmth.

A perfect talisman for those seeking balance and illumination, this pendant is a powerful reminder of the light within, and the strength that comes from clarity and wisdom.

The natural kiripounamu has been left on the back of the tooth, allowing you to feel the stone's original smooth, waxy surface, just as it was found in nature.

The Niho is a symbol of leadership, resilience, guardianship and protection.

I carved and polished it up to how it is today, as seen in the photos.

Over time absorb the wearers oils binding your connection with the stone forever meaning it can be passed down for generations, these stones very durable and have been around for millions of years.

This piece is currently strung using a tan braided string.
