Cultural Significance: The Roimata shape, a traditional Māori design, symbolizes the flow of emotions, healing, and the journey of life. It is a powerful symbol of empathy, love, and the ability to move forward after hardship. Natural Elegance: The rich green tones of the serpentine are beautifully contrasted by the iridescent hues of the Pāua shell, which runs down the center of the pendant. The natural metallic flecks within the serpentine, due to hematite inclusions, add a unique depth to the stone, making this pendant a true work of art.

Healing and Emotional Balance: The Roimata design is known for its association with emotional healing, helping the wearer to release past traumas and move forward with a renewed sense of peace and strength.

The hematite inclusions further enhance this protective quality, making the pendant a powerful tool for spiritual well-being. Connection to the Ocean: The Pāua shell, revered in Māori culture, represents the beauty and mystery of the ocean. Its inclusion in the pendant adds an element of spiritual connection to the sea, symbolizing abundance, prosperity, and the ever-changing nature of life.
