Spirit Kaitiaki / Guardian Face - Protection
Kaitiaki is a Maori word meaning Guardian or protector. This Amulet is inspired by just that and the years I spent with the Maori people in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

This Powerful Talisman represents a Kaitiaki or Guardian face. Weaving together the energies of: Labradorite as the Tongue, Black Ethiopian Opal as the Nasal, Thai Abalone shell as the Eyes, Mexican Fire Opal as the 3rd Eye and two small Labradorites as the crown.
TONGUE AND CROWN:
Labradorite Is a great grounding and protecting tool, protecting our energetic body from negative vibrations and psychic attacks. Labradorite resonates to a few chakras depending on colour, as you can see this piece has a blue sheen to it, this encourages self expression and speaking ones truth. Labradorite is also a stone of transformation and can help facilitate these changes in life.
An ancient Inuit legend tells us that long ago the Northern Lights were trapped inside the rocks along the coast of Labrador. One day they were found by an Inuit warrior who freed them with his spear. Sadly, the warrior couldn’t release all the lights and so some light spirits remained in the rocks. This is why labradorite is found in the rocks of Labrador today.
Labradorite is associated with the Aquarius star sign.
NASAL:
Black Opals forever reminds me of where we come from and where we are going - from the darkness to the light. And just looking at how the colours shift, is a metaphor for the universal changes in life. As well as carrying the energy of Opal, being one of the most creative stones pout there, Black Opal adds a grounded aspect and balances our energies at the same time.
EYES:
Abalone in many cultures represent the feminine and womanhood. Holding a strong connection to the ocean and the waves of our emotions. Abalone are found all around the world and come in many shades and colours, carrying a soothing vibration. Often worn to encourage fertility and prosperity, Abalone shell are used by almost all cultures and peoples that have access to them.
In Maori culture the Abalone or Paua shell is often used as the eyes in their carvings, this represents Te Whetu or the stars and the gaze of our ancestors in the night sky.
3RD EYE:
Mexican Fire Opal is a stone of creativity and confidence. Fire Opals are know to raise ones energy levels and encourage personal power. Carrying the energy of the sun and resonating to our Sacral Chakra Fire Opals aid our sensual energy and vigour for life, facilitating change and progress. Fire Opals encourage our inner fire the burn strong, and are a great stone for positive thinking, burning away negative thoughts. With their ever-changing colours Fire Opal are a great inspiration for our creative process, stimulating and resonating to our own colours to shine through (Chakras).
Opals are the birthstone of October.
