Carved from a beautiful piece of Hapopo Pounamu, this Single Twist displays soft green tones with darker mineral speckles and gentle clouding flowing naturally through the stone. The pounamu has a lovely translucency that reveals depth and movement within the carving, with the natural inclusions creating unique character and patterning throughout. A striking and well balanced design that showcases the natural beauty of the stone and will make a very special taonga.
Pikorua- Twist, The Māori single twist or Pikorua resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns. Representing the paths of ‘life and love’ or ‘friendship or eternity’.

Hapopo- Genuine West Coast Greenstone. It's colour ranges from medium green to a dark forest green with a unique mottled texture. The name originating from Kā Umu o Hapopo (Big Bay) which is in Poutini ki te toka (South Westland).
