This Koru pendant is hand carved from Auhunga Pounamu, displaying muted green tones with soft shifts of colour moving through the stone. The spiral is crisply shaped and nicely proportioned, giving the piece an easy sense of movement and balance. Finished to a smooth polish, it holds gentle clarity and a refined, understated presence.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
Auhunga- Genuine West Coast Greenstone from the Arahura River area, West Coast. Auhunga Pounamu is a pale opaque green colour. Resembling the Southern New Zealand mountains, its name translates to frosty, given as the intermediate of Inanga and Kawakawa.
