Each carving is handcrafted from Genuine NZ Greenstone. Each piece is unique in the greenstone used and the design carved. This is an example of the carving that you will receive, you will not receive this exact piece but one that is very similar.
Koru- The Maori word for bright or loop. It refers to the shoots of the silver fern. The circular movement to the inner core refers to "going back to the beginnings". The unfurling frond itself is symbolic for new life, new beginnings, hope, personal growth, purity nurturing, a new phase in life, the spirit of rejuvenation and peace.
