A gorgeous Breastplate handcrafted from a stunning piece of Kawakawa Flower Pounamu, with wonderful colour and patterns this will be a loved gift.
Breast Plate- signifies strength and protection in battle. Today they still hold this symbolism but more as a representative scale.
Kawakawa- is the most common variety of Pounamu. it comes in many shades - from strong, rich green to dark green - and often has small dark flecks, which add to its character. Named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
Flower Jade- is New Zealand’s most prized 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.
