This lovely Rua Ngā Ngākau or Double Heart pendant has been hand carved from Marsden Flower Pounamu, displaying gentle green tones with soft golden Putiputi (Flower) detail. The flowing heart form represents love and unity, and the carver’s polish brings out the natural depth and character of the Greenstone, creating a graceful and meaningful piece.
Heart
pendants are a timeless symbol of aroha (love), connection and appreciation in all its forms, from friendship and family bonds to romantic and enduring love. A pounamu heart pendant is a meaningful gift for someone special and carries a message of affection and remembrance.
Marsden Flower Pounamu- 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 Māori. 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.
