A fabulous Breastplate from a magnificent piece of gem Marsden Flower Pounamu. A stunning design with amazing pattern in the stone, which truly enhances this wonderful carving.
A breast plate signified strength and protection in battle. Today they still hold this symbolism but more as a representative scale.
Genuine West Coast Marsden Flower Jade 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.
