Marsden Putiputi (Flower)
Pounamu 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 Māori. 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.
Ian Boustridge began carving in 1976, his sculpture reflects the time he spends in the mountains. His designs suggest the shapes of glacier and water worn rock. In this they form part of our precious inheritance of the Maori traditions of design.
