Moko Pounamu NZ Kahurangi Flower Greenstone & Sterling Silver Earrings - Oruahine
This stunning collection features exquisite handcrafted New Zealand Kahurangi Flower Pounamu set with Sterling Silver caps and hooks. The simplistic design compliments each piece and lets the Greenstone speak for itself.
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.
Putiputi (Flower) Jade- is New Zealand’s most prized Greenstone, with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
