The Koru, shaped like an unfurling fern frond, embodies new life, growth, and infinite possibilities. Its gentle spiral carries a deep sense of peace and spiritual harmony, reflecting nature's perfect balance. The Koru is often carved with interwoven fronds, representing the bonds of family, friendship, and love.
The Pikorua (twist) is a beautiful symbol of everlasting connection, loyalty, and the intertwining of lives. A cherished gift between friends, whānau (family), or allies, the Pikorua signifies strength in unity and the beauty of shared journeys.
The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.
When worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone. Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be worn of displayed with respect and pride.
Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute drawstring bag.

I am absolutely blown away by the level of service and care I have received over 4 recent purchases including the rebinding of a 20+ yo Greenstone Toki from the lovely people at the Greenstone Shop!
I was blown away by the service, quality and affordability. Louise was very helpful and accommodating and Dean is a great carver, clearly plenty of skill and pride goes into his work. Would highly recommend!
