Moko Pounamu Kahurangi Pounamu Long Pear Shape Cabochon #11

Genuine West Coast Kahurangi Greenstone from the Marsden, West Coast area . Kahurangi is the rarest variety of pounamu. It is highly translucent and often comes in vivid shades of green. Small, feather-like markings in the stone can give a cloud effect – although in order to be classed as Kahurangi, this effect must not reduce the stone’s clarity. The word Kahurangi also indicates nobility and refers to precious jewels and held in high esteem by Māori .
