This Porohita pendant is hand carved from beautifully featured Kawakawa Pounamu, around a central cutout which brings balance and simplicity to the design. The stone shows a dark green tone and the light coloured cord is bound neatly at the top for a clean, contemporary finish. A refined pendant with warm, subtle character.
Porohita/The Disc - Represents the circle of life which has no beginning or end. It means you have a choice to do and achieve whatever you want to in life. Its curved lines also represent the idea of energy and movement and like the cyclical nature of time and seasons, where one path ends, another begins. The Disc is also believed to have protective qualities and can symbolize a shield or a boundary that keeps negative influences and harm at bay.
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. it comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
