Douglas Creek Pounamu (a form of Serpentinite) – Found only on the West Coast of the South Island in the vicinity of its name’s sake, each piece of Serpentinite has inclusions of many minerals that make a stunning piece of Artwork. Two or more Serpentine minerals can form a Serpentinite Rock and many other sub varieties of this stunner. This is regarded as one of the three stones that make up the Pounamu family.
Serpentinite is known to replenish and restore energy in our bodies as well as creating a protective energy field around us. It has incredible healing qualities. As Serpentinite can be a porous stone it can absorb the oils from your skin and deepen the colour of the stone enhancing it beautiful features.
