Moko Pounamu Kowhaiwhai Split-Pendant Genuine NZ Kawakawa Flower Greenstone - Wairere

This unique split pendant is carved from beautiful Kahurangi Pounamu, known for its clear, luminous green tones. Formed as two halves of a shield-like rei niho shape, the pieces fit perfectly together to symbolise unity, strength, and shared connection. A flowing Kowhaiwhai design is cut through both halves, representing the bond between two people and the continuity of their shared journey.

Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. It comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used for gem purposes.

Putiputi (Flower) Jade- is New Zealand’s most prized 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.
