Nice light coloured Serpentine from the Arahura River was used in this one of a kind sculpture carved and signed by Peter Tauwhare. 

Wahine is the title of this piece.

Peter Tauwhare’s whakapapa traces back to the Arahura river where he sources much of his stone to work with in his small studio not far away.

Using only the most rudimentary tools he applies his craft with a heartfelt karakia to his Ancestors to guide his hand before he starts to breathe life into his creations.  Incredibly talented Carver with a unique style of seeing what lies beneath the surface of the stone brings this out in an almost Neolithic style that would be hard to match.

I always feel I am looking at something ancient and other worldly when I am holding a piece of his art.

Will make a wonderful show piece for the office or home.

My pounamu needed to be restrung. After looking online the Greenstone shop seemed the most reasonably priced even though I would have to post my pounamu. The service was so fast and efficient and the communication was excellent. My pounamu cord is better than it's ever been. Thank you so much team.

Wow amazing, I ordered yesterday and I received it in Australia today. Quicker than the local post. I purchased this for my granddaughters 18th birthday and I am sure she will love and treasure it. I am usually weary of buying online but this is more beautiful in person than the photos. Thanks to the Greenstone Shop and the carver for such wonderful service and work 🤩😍
