About Pounamu

Pounamu is the Māori name associated with treasured greenstone materials found in Te Waipounamu, the South Island of New Zealand. It includes varieties of nephrite as well as some other traditionally recognised stone types.

Pounamu holds profound cultural significance for Māori and is regarded as taonga — a treasure. It has traditionally been fashioned into tools, weapons and adornments and passed between generations.

Pounamu is associated with concepts including strength, mana, protection, connection, peace and enduring relationships. Pieces gifted between people can carry particular significance, strengthening connections between the giver and recipient.

Within spiritual and crystal traditions, greenstone is also associated with grounding, harmony, strength and connection with the natural world.

This substantial polished freeform makes a beautiful display piece, meaningful gift or addition to a New Zealand mineral and crystal collection.

Please note: As a natural stone, variations in colour, markings and surface characteristics are part of the individual beauty of this unique piece.
