A stunning contemporary Hei Matau (hook) from a gorgeous piece of Kawakawa Pounamu. The colour of this Hook is simply wonderful and extraordinary patterns will make a great gift.
Hei Matau (Fishhook) - Originally Maori have been fishermen. Their main food source was the sea, so a fishhook of high quality was a very valuable item to own. The hook became a symbol of prosperity, abundance, good health, power, authority and respect for the sea and its life in it. They also provide good luck and safety while travelling across water.
Genuine West Coast Greenstone - Kawakawa. A dark rich green with varying intermediate shades, named after the leaf of the Kawakawa. It is the main type used in gem purposes.
