This Rua Ngā Ngākau or Double Heart pendant has been handcrafted from Marsden Flower Pounamu, showing soft green hues with gentle golden Putiputi (Flower) details through the stone. The twin heart design symbolises shared love and unity, and the carver’s polish enhances the stone’s warmth and depth, creating a graceful and enduring piece of craftsmanship.
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.
