A fantastic Kuru from a beautiful piece of Kahurangi Flower Pounamu. The soft colours at the top flowing through to the stunning rich green are amazing and with the wonderful decorative work resembling a braided basket (Kete whakairo) this will be a treasured gift that will carry on through the generations.
The Drop/Kuru- 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.
Genuine West Coast Kahurangi Greenstone from the Marsden, West Coast area .
Kahurangi is the rarest variety of pounamu. It is highly translucent and often comes in vivid shades of green. Small, feather-like markings in the stone can give a cloud effect – although in order to be classed as Kahurangi, this effect must not reduce the stone’s clarity. The word Kahurangi also indicates nobility and refers to precious jewels and held in high esteem by 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.
