Obsidian and sterling silver. Obsidian from Taupo rohe (Taupo volcanic zone)

Obsidian was a significant resource to our tipuna. Used for cutting, scraping and drilling, it was valued and traded widely.

Being made of volcanic glass, these taonga are fragile and should be treated with care.

Spiritually Obsidian is considered protective and grounding.
