This Moko Pounamu Porohita (Disc) carved from NZ genuine Kahotea pounamu features rich green tones layered with soft cloudy formations that resemble mist drifting across a landscape. Each natural inclusion within the stone tells its own story, creating a one-of-a-kind piece full of depth and character.
The smooth circular form of the Porohita (Disc) highlights the natural beauty of the Kahotea stone, known for its distinctive blend of deep greens and lighter cloudy areas. The polished finish enhances the stone’s organic textures, allowing the natural variations to reveal themselves as the light moves across its surface.
Traditionally, the Porohita represents Mauri — the life force that connects all living things. Its circular shape symbolises unity, wholeness, and the ongoing flow of life, making this pendant a meaningful piece to wear as a reminder of strength, balance, and connection.
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.
