This single bead pendant has been handcrafted from Inanga Pounamu, displaying soft milky-green hues. The form is simple and elegant, allowing the natural beauty of the stone to speak for itself. Smoothly polished and suspended on an adjustable cord, it’s a refined piece of Greenstone craftsmanship with quiet grace.
Inanga- Pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.
