Handcrafted Koru Pounamu Greenstone Pendant Necklace - Authentic Maori Jade Disc Jewelry - Perfect for Gifts, Spiritual Protection & Cultural Fashion

 This Disc with Koru pendant has been hand carved from New Zealand pounamu (greenstone/jade) by carver Ric Moor.

The koru shape is based on the unfurling fern frond symbolising new growth, new life, peace and tranquility.

Pounamu is the Māori name for greenstone or nephrite jade which is only found in the South Island. It is an extremely tough material and is said to absorb the owners essential spirit, feeding it back to them and enhancing their strength.

Ric was born in the Bay of Islands where he spent much of his youth carving bone, stone and working with silver but now lives on the West Coast of the South Island. He has been carving for many years and loves working with pounamu because of its permanence and cultural significance.
