About the Koru:
The spiral is a Koru. It represents the fern frond as it opens – bringing new life and purity to the world. It also represents peace, tranquility and spirituality along with a strong sense of regrowth or new beginnings.
About Pounamu:
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.
