Aotea stone is unique to one small valley on the west coast of the South Island of Aotearoa (New Zealand). This is the only area in the world where Fuchsite and Kyanite are found together in a Quartz matrix. This makes it a very special stone of Aotearoa. Due to the layering of the minerals no two stones are ever the same, and the colour ranges between white/turquoise/green/blue/black. Aotea carries a very strong healing energy.
