A beautiful carving with a 9ct gold bail, it truly is like viewing a star. Carved from a stunning gem quality Inanga Stone.
Maori navigated by the stars, and at the end of their journey they came upon Aotearoa, meaning intelligence, safe passage across water, when you hold this pendant up to the light you will see a star.
Inanga- Pounamu takes its name from a freshwater fish native to New Zealand. It is pale and often transparent, like the young of the Inanga fish. It is pearly white to grey green in colour, and ranges from translucent to quite opaque. It can change colour over time, developing a light olive tint as it ages and oxidises - Highly prized by the Māori and the desired material for making Mere and Patu.
