This stunning toki is carved from Nelson argillite, a stone highly prized for its strength, durability, and fine natural markings. The pale tones of the stone are beautifully accented by organic veining, making each piece truly one of a kind. Carefully finished and bound with a black braided cord, the binding not only secures the toki but adds a striking contrast that highlights its clean, powerful form.
Traditionally, the toki (adze blade) is a symbol of strength, determination, focus, and leadership. It represents the ability to shape the world around you through skill, hard work, and perseverance.
This piece is both refined and grounding — a wearable taonga that speaks of connection to the land, resilience, and purpose. Whether worn daily or gifted to mark a meaningful milestone, this Nelson argillite toki is a timeless expression of strength and intent.
