Moko Pounamu Double Pikorua (Twist) Genuine NZ Kahurangi Greenstone & Sterling Silver - Mangamaire
A wonderful Double Pikorua carved from Kahurangi Pounamu with a Sterling Silver bale - this Greenstone has lovely translucency & colour, with a small feature of lighter stone on the lower part of the Twist - a gorgeous taonga.
Pikorua- Double and triple Twists, resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns. representing the paths of life and love or friendship and eternity. Double twists refer to the bond between peoples or culture rather than individuals - traditionally given as an offering of friendship between two different tribes.
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.
