6cm Roimata Bright Green

This pounamu is bright green, very similar to the kahurangi type of Pounamu that is very hard to find. It is slender tear drop shape, curved end, that feels light and delicate.

Wearing a Roimata or Tear Drop shaped, also called kuru,  pounamu pendant is about comfort and caring for people. It represents shared emotions, compassion, empathy, confidence, solidarity, reassurance.

It is a symbol that connects with emotions and the heart.

Roimata were traditionally worn as an earring. They were symbols of high status and reputation.
