ONE OF KIND ARTEFACT STYLE MAORI INTERLOCKING FREE MOVING LOOPS &###xA0;PENDANT EXPERTLY CARVED FROM SUPER RICH TURQUOISE BLUE AOTEA STONE - WITH AMAZING CRYSTALLINE OCEAN TRANSLUCENCE -&###xA0; A VARIETY OF KYANITE/FUSCHITE ONLY FOUND IN ONE AREA OF NEW ZEALAND.

The loops are traditionally bound to form a necklace onto a tan natural hand braided 16 cord with Aotea stone toggle.

IT COMES WITH MY CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. The carvings I offer are priced incredibly reasonably for genuine artist carved&###xA0;NZ POUNAMU which will soon become impossible to obtain. All my pendants are blessed in the Maori tradition. All my photos are taken outside in natural light - no digital enhancement - no photoshopping - what you see is what you get! Pounamu is found only in the South Island of New Zealand.

Because of this, the island was originally named Te W&###x101;hi Pounamu (the place of pounamu), but over time this name changed to Te Wai Pounamu (the greenstone waters). No other jade should be classified as pounamu as it is a Maori name for the stone. There are ten main types of pounamu.

Arahura - a dark velvet green. Inanga - pale blue or green - can be opaque or translucent. Totoweka - a rare type - streaked or spotted with red. Kahotea - dark green with darker inclusions. Kawakawa - rich leaf green sometimes with dark freckling.

Kohuwai - a misty grey blue with vivid bright green - like moss in a stream. Kokopu - sometimes called troutstone - silver or golden green with brown freckling. Kahurangi - emerald clear green sometimes with white feathering - highly prized. Raukaraka - called Flower Jade - varied greens with gold/orange blooms.

Tangiwai - bowenite - found only in certain areas of Aotearoa NZ - dark blue/green - exceptional translucence. M&###x101;ori valued pounamu in the same way Europeans valued gold. Around the 1870s, Te Otatu from Coromandel remarked: &###x2018;Let the gold be worked by the white men.

It was not a thing known to our ancestors. My only treasure is the pounamu. The main deposits used by M&###x101;ori are in the districts around the Taramakau and Arahura rivers in Westland, coastal south Westland and the Lake Wakatipu area in Otago. In addition, there is a significant field of bowenite in Milford Sound (Piopiotahi).

Traditionally, the pounamu in the Arahura River has been most important for Poutini Ng&###x101;i Tahu (Ng&###x101;i Tahu people on the West Coast), with the junction of this river and Waitaiki (Olderog) Stream being particularly important. &###x200B;&###x200B;&###x200B;&###x200B;&###x200B;&###x200B;&##x200B. Authentic Pounamu Jade + Bone Carvings from Aotearoa New Zealand, the land of the Maori people and the inspiring scenery you saw in Lord of the Rings! &###xA0; All other buyers may choose this option if required.
