A fantastic Southern Cross Star handcrafted from a wonderful piece of Kawakawa Pounamu. A beautiful carving, it truly is like viewing a star.
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.
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.
This will be the exact piece you will receive in the photos, there may be a slight degree of colour variation based on different computer or device screen resolutions that you are viewing from.
