Authentic greenstone
By buying this authentic All Blacks Te Wahi Pounamu piece, you can be sure that you are buying genuine New Zealand jade (rather than imported or black market Jade). It also guarantees that the Pounamu has been extracted by legitimate means, and treated using appropriate cultural values.
New Zealand greenstone
When the first white settlers arrived on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand they found that the Maoris were using tough, hard and very beautiful green stone to make war weapons, cutting and carving tools and articles for personal adornment.
The Maori called the stone Pounamu, which liberally translated means Green Stone, The settlers ignorant of the fact that the stone was in fact nephrite Jade, put the two words together and gave it the distinctive name - Greenstone and it is still known in New Zealand by this name.
The piece measures approx 00mm long by 30mm wide. It comes with an adjustable cord, attractive All Blacks Wooden Gift box and a meaning card.
