These small Whale Tail earrings are carved from Kahurangi Pounamu, showing the clear green tones this stone is known for. The simple tail form gives them a light, graceful look, while Sterling Silver hooks keep the design clean and contemporary. A fresh pair of earrings with gentle movement and natural clarity.
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.
