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.

This is an example of the earrings you will receive. You may not receive this exact pair, but ones that are similar. This is due to each Earring being carved from natural Greenstone where the colouring will differ depending on the elements in the stone.
