A beautiful carving with a 9ct gold bail, it truly is like viewing a star. Carved from a stunning gem quality Kahurangi Pounamu.
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 5 point star.
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 markings can sometimes be seen in the stone – 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.
