This stunning Circle of Life Pendant, carved in Kawakawa Flower Pounamu by Kerry Thompson, symbolises the crossing of paths in and through our lives. The inner part of the pendant contains a joined twist design - which folds like a helix - linking to the wheel which surrounds the piece. Drawn from this stunning Greenstone mottled with variations of hues and Putiputi (Flower) this gorgeous carving will be a treasured addition to any collection.
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.
