No two pieces of pounamu are the same, and every stone is treated with the utmost respect by those who source and carve it.
Renowned for its beauty and strength, the rare stone is highly valued by both Maori and greater New Zealand. While generically known as ‘greenstone’, pounamu refers to the particular types of hard nephrite jade, bowenite, or serpentine found only in southern New Zealand.
