Kauri Gum – Natural Pieces

Kauri Gum is a beautiful natural resin from New Zealand’s magnificent Kauri tree (Agathis australis). Formed over time as resin seeps from cracks and wounds in the tree’s bark and hardens on exposure to air, each piece is unique in colour, shape and character. Its natural hues range from pale golden yellow and honey amber to rich reddish-brown and deep black.

Also known as Kapia or New Zealand Amber, this natural resin holds a special place in New Zealand’s natural heritage. Traditionally valued for its many uses, it is now appreciated for jewellery, ornamental pieces and its distinctive aromatic qualities.

When gently warmed or burned as incense using a suitable heat-safe burner, the resin releases a rich, resinous aroma that is often described as clearing and grounding. In spiritual and energy practices, it is traditionally associated with unconditional love, empathy and self-acceptance. It is also used by those seeking to nurture, balance and strengthen the heart chakra.

Beautiful in its natural form, this unique treasure invites a deeper connection with the natural world and the grounding energy of Aotearoa New Zealand.
