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.

Thank you for the speedy delivery of this lovely, beautifully crafted item. It is intended as a 21st present, and I couldn't have asked for a better piece of practical jewellery to commemorate my daughters special birthday.
