Pounamu, often referred to as New Zealand jade or greenstone, is more than just a gemstone in Maori culture. It’s a taonga (treasure) that holds spiritual significance. Believed to be a gift from the gods, pounamu is cherished for its strength, durability, and beauty. Different varieties of pounamu have distinct colors and patterns, with Inanga being one of them. Characterized by its lovely pale green shade, reminiscent of the native inanga (whitebait), it is especially prized for jewelry and ornaments.

It embodies the Maori culture’s reverence for nature, emotions, and craftsmanship. Owning or gifting such a pendant isn’t just acquiring a beautiful artifact; it’s an embrace of a legacy that has thrived for centuries and will continue to inspire for generations to come.
