Knife Handle - Kawakawa & Rhodonite
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. It comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used for gem purposes.
Rhodonite- a wonderful pink coloured manganese silicate mineral found South of Akatore Creek, Otago. This mineral has long been sort after by rockhounds and others for carving & jewellery making. A powerful healing stone for relationships, the Rhodonite crystal encourages clear communication, the lifeline for a strong and healthy union. Its energy opens the heart up to emotional healing.
