A stunning handcrafted Mauri ring carved from a gorgeous piece of Kahurangi Pounamu and set on a hand beaten sterling silver band. This Toanga is eye-catching and will be a real conversation piece.
Kahurangi- Genuine West Coast 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 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.
Mauri
is an energy which binds and animates all things in the physical world. Without mauri, mana cannot flow into a person or object. The idea that mana can flow into the world through tapu and mauri underpinned most of Māori daily life.
