Soft luminous Kahurangi green defines this elegant koru swirl, with beautiful natural translucency and gentle tonal variation throughout the stone. Subtle cloudy inclusions move through the pounamu, enhancing its organic character while allowing light to pass through the polished surface. The smooth finish and flowing form highlight the clarity and refined beauty that Kahurangi stone is known for.
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.
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.
