Aroha stone – Aroha stone is found only in certain parts of Otago and Southland New Zealand. First discovered from the Shotover River in the beautiful mountains of Central Otago, Piemontite Schist stone was initially recorded as a Quartz-Muscovite-Piemontite Schist Boulder.
These gorgeous stones in a stunning pale pink to a deep dark purple contain thousands of little flecks of Mica giving the stone its famous shimmer. They look especially stunning when wet, like dew drops glistening in the morning sun.
