Moko Pounamu Horse Shoe NZ Genuine Inanga Greenstone - Kaimanawa

A gorgeous Horse shoe Hu Hoiho hand carved from a beautiful piece of Inanga Pounamu. It's thought that the crescent shape represented various moon goddesses thus protecting against the curse of the evil eye and bringing good luck.

Inanga- Pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.

Hand carved by Kaleb Schad
