Deeply woven into the fabric of Māori lore, taniwha are mighty, mystical beings who serve as protectors and guides. When honoured and respected, they become fierce kaitiaki (guardians) not only of people but places as well. With the ability to shapeshift, in the water they could be sharks, whales, giant squids, while on land they could be dragon-like creatures forming a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.

Agate is said to be calming and grounding making it a popular choice for those who need balance or extra protection, especially when embarking on journeys—both physical and emotional. Enhances self-reflection, encourages the wearer to slow down, process thoughts carefully, and make decisions based on a deep understanding rather than impulse.

Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute drawstring bag.
