NZ Greenstone Freeform Sculpture (BH301) Rimu Pounamu
Stunning freeform natural boulder touchstone sculptured from Rimu Pounamu. Sitting on a stunning handcrafted bronze pedestal stand, this is truly an impressive piece.
This has amazing presence and would certainly be a focal point where ever it is homed. It's hard not to go past it without touching the smooth rippled surface.
This large Pounamu was unearthed in 1987 from the Seddon Terrace district near Hokitika, West Coast of the South Island; and was a loved piece in a private collection up till now.
Brownie Barlow spent many days carefully polishing the surface to bring it to its current lustre and beauty while preserving the natural shape of this very special Pounamu.
Pounamu or Greenstone is regarded as a stone sacred to the gods by the Māori of New Zealand. As a Taonga -meaning treasured, and it should be displayed with respect and pride. Pounamu is a gift from the heart.

BEHIND POUNAMU
Pounamu is so much more than a stone. It holds Wairua (spiritual essence) through its association with the land and its beauty. Each piece lends strength and well-being to the wearer, making it a true gift from the heart. Over time, Pounamu absorbs its owners' natural oils and takes on a beautiful lustre. It is then that the stone's essence becomes one with your own and the stone has truly chosen you.
We love the Pounamu we purchased from these guys and really appreciate how they replaced the cord for us a year later.
