Large Cloudy Pounamu Toki

Large Cloudy Pounamu Toki

This Pounamu is a translucent green with beautiful cloud fractures going through ti. It has a beautiful bright glow when back lit.

This is a large thinish Toki.

I think Toki or Adze/Axe/Chisel shapes would have been some of the first forms carved in most stone based cultures.  Large ones would have been used for cutting down trees and shaping canoes and finer ones for wood carving with a lot of different sizes and shapes in between for a multitude of different jobs.
