Roimata/Drop - Often called the comfort stone and given to show sympathy, shared emotion and that they, the receiver, are not alone in their grief. The drop pendants are also believed to represent a connection to the whenua (the land) Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. it comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks or light inclusions, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
Flower Jade- is New Zealand’s most prized 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.
