Pounamu Adze Pendant in Black Suede Box

Pounamu is valued for its strength, durability and beauty. However, its value transcends the aesthetic and practical properties. Because of its link with chiefs and peace-making, it is considered to have mana (status) and to be tapu (sacred). The stone is highly treasured by all tribes throughout New Zealand, and it was extensively traded in the North Island.
 
Maori believed greenstone had to be gifted for good luck.
