A stunning piece of Marsden Flower Jade beautifully hand crafted into a gorgeous sculpture and mounted onto a wonderful Rimu wooden base. The incredible colours and markings on this amazing carving certainly make it stand out and provides a gorgeous vibrancy against the beautiful wood base.
Koru - The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
Sculpture - This a Genuine West Coast Kahurangi Greenstone from the Marsden, West Coast area. The centre of this stone is a highly translucent, light-ish green shade, free from dark spots and other flaws. One of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by the Maori. The most prized Greenstone in New Zealand is flower jade, Greenstone with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
