CANCELLATION OF ORDERS

You may only cancel your order before it has been sent so, please contact us immediately at +64276402292 as we endeavour to get your parcel out as quickly as possible. Once it has been picked up to be delivered, we are unable to cancel your order and would need to follow our refund policy. 

WARRANTY

Your Pounamu should last you a lifetime - and more. Pounamu is said to increase in mana as it is passed on through generations. We guarantee that any Greenstone Shop piece will survive to become an heirloom piece, spreading its mana throughout your whanau if it is well cared for, loved and respected. 

Unfortunately, we don't replace any Pounamu or Greenstone carvings that have broken due to bangs, knocks or drops which are typical of many breakages or fractures to pendants. The stone may be as strong as steel, but it is stone and is brittle, and that makes it vulnerable to breaks and chips. Our carvers have over 35 years of experience and can normally tell by assessing the fracture how it may have broken. 

If you have any issues with your piece, please contact us to discuss.
