Vibrant Kahurangi tones define this elegant single pikorua, featuring luminous green colouring highlighted by striking natural white feathering through the centre of the stone. The smooth polish enhances the clarity and depth of the pounamu, allowing the intricate mineral patterning to stand out beautifully. Subtle variations in translucency and colour create a layered, almost icy appearance that gives this piece a refined and eye-catching presence. The white feathering is the standout feature giving the stone movement and a slightly icy appearance that feels very refined.
Pikorua/Twist, The Māori single twist or Pikorua resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns. Representing the paths of ‘life and love’ or ‘friendship or eternity’. Because the Pikorua stands for infinite partnership, it makes it a perfect gift for lovers, newlyweds, fiancées, or others who want to emphasise their connection, their love for each other, their loyalty and friendship.
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.
