Moko Pounamu NZ Marsden Flower Greenstone & Sterling Silver Earrings - Hikumutu
This stunning collection features unique handcrafted New Zealand Marsden Flower Pounamu set on Sterling Silver findings. The simplistic design compliments each stone and lets the Greenstone speak for itself.
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.
