Product Details

An incredible Porohita handcrafted from a beautiful piece of Marsden Flower Jade, mounted onto a gorgeous piece of Basalt stone. A stunning disc that if positioned just the right way then you could imagine a scene where you are looking down upon hills and valleys in the summer.

Porohita/The Disc - Represents the circle of life which has no beginning or end. It means you have a choice to do and achieve whatever you want to in life. Its curved lines also represent the idea of energy and movement and like the cyclical nature of time and seasons, where one path ends, another begins. The Disc is also believed to have protective qualities and can symbolize a shield or a boundary that keeps negative influences and harm at bay.

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.
