Moko Pounamu Genuine NZ Kahurangi Greenstone & 9ct Gold Ring - Kaimanawa
This beautiful 9ct Gold ring has an oval-cut Kahurangi Pounamu stone in a clasp setting. The four perfect claws around the gem-grade Greenstone cabochon are a wonderful combination.
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.
