This larger-sized Koru pendant has been handcrafted from Kawakawa Pounamu, displaying the deep, natural green tones and fine variations distinctive to this beautiful Greenstone. The three flowing Koru forms are carved in balance, creating a sense of movement and harmony within the design. The carver has polished the piece to enhance the depth and texture of the stone, better revealing the subtle shifts of hue - a gorgeous taonga.
