Moko Pounamu Koru NZ Genuine Kahurangi Greenstone -

This contemporary koru pendant is carved from Kahurangi pounamu, showing a beautiful gradient from deep forest green at the top through to a lighter, brighter apple-green toward the tip, giving the piece a striking sense of depth and movement. The form is a bold, elongated koru, with one side drawn out into a long, sweeping point and the other curling back into a tight inner spiral, creating an open, dynamic silhouette that captures the koru's symbolism of new life and growth. A single drilled hole sits at the top, threaded with a black cord and finished with a simple woven knot. The stone is polished to a smooth, glassy lustre, allowing the natural colour shift within the Kahurangi to glow beautifully as the piece catches the light.

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 .
