Moko Pounamu Pepi Manawa (Heart) NZ Genuine Kahurangi Greenstone

A gorgeous Pepi (baby) Manawa (heart) handcrafted from Genuine NZ Kahurangi Pounamu.

Manawa- Heart pendants are a timeless symbol of aroha (love), connection and appreciation in all its forms, from friendship and family bonds to romantic and enduring love. A pounamu heart pendant is a meaningful gift for someone special and carries a message of affection and remembrance.

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.

Sizes: Approx 15mm x 15mm x4mm thick (each carving may differ slightly)

This is an example of the carving you will receive. You will not receive this exact piece, but one that is similar. This is due to each piece being carved from natural Greenstone where the colouring will differ depending on the elements in the stone.
