Description
This stunning Serpentine Pounamu display piece is a taonga from Hokitika, a region renowned for its rich deposits of Pounamu. The stone is a deep, glassy green—the colour of shadows beneath the dense forest canopy, where the light struggles to reach. But when the light does catch it, the rich forest hues are revealed, shimmering with depth and energy.
Measuring approximately 15cm long, 9cm wide, and 4.5cm thick, this piece has been shaped to honour the natural beauty of the stone. The top has been polished, revealing the stone’s inner life and bringing forth its mauri—the essence that connects it to the whenua and its journey through time. The underside remains natural, just as it was found, preserving its raw connection to the land and its origins.
This display piece is not just a work of natural beauty but a meaningful addition to any space. It speaks of strength, connection, and the balance between refinement and untouched nature. It is perfect for those who appreciate Pounamu in its raw and polished states, bridging the gap between what is seen and what remains hidden until the light brings it to life.
