An incredible contemporary Kuru hand carved from a stunning piece of Marsden Flower Pounamu. A stunning piece in size and finishing. The details are phenomenal with fabulous black Pakohe (Argillite) sliders which finish this and will make a wonderful taonga.
Kuru/Drop - Drop pendants are regarded as touch stones for meditation and representing a connection to the whenua (the land) Aotearoa (New Zealand). The Kuru design is a simple slender length of pounamu worn to encourage knowledge, confidence and independence.
Marsden Flower
Pounamu from the Marsden, West Coast area. The centre of this stone is a highly translucent, light-ish green shade, free from dark spots and other flaws. One of the rarest varieties, held in high esteem by the Māori. The most prized Greenstone in New Zealand is Flower Jade, Greenstone with pale green or ochre clouds of colour. This distinctive patterning and colouring come from the outside rim or 'rind' of the greenstone boulders or stones where the surface has oxidised.
