Vivid green piece of Hine-Aotea, a rare New Zealand stone found in only one river in South Westland. This piece is made up of fuschite and quartz and is highly translucent when held to the light.

Measures 46mm x 40mm x 5mm approx. Suspended on an adjustable 3 plait khaki coloured cord. Hand sanded to a matte finish.

Hand crafted here on the West Coast by myself of Rongomaiwahine, Ngati Kahungunu and New Zealand descent. Please check out my other listings of taonga/pendnts carved from genuine New Zealand jade, also referred to as pounamu, nephrite or greenstone.

All purchases are greatly appreciated by my young family and I as carving provides the sole income for our household. Support local artists.
