A fantastic Southern Cross Star handcrafted from a wonderful piece of Kahurangi Pounamu. A beautiful carving, it truly is like viewing a star.
Maori navigated by the stars, and at the end of their journey they came upon Aotearoa, meaning intelligence, safe passage across water, when you hold this pendant up to the light you will see a star.
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.
