Running through that colour are totoweka characteristics: darker inclusions that often read as dark, almost black, in everyday light, but held up to the light, reveal their true colour, glowing red or purple from within. That natural range, from deep and dense to clear and glowing, is what makes every piece so individual, and no two are ever the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#1F4D36;margin:1.3em 0 0.35em;\"\u003eAbout the Toki\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.7em;\"\u003eThe Toki is a traditional Māori design representing strength, courage, determination, and resilience.
