This beautiful Single Pikorua (twist) Pounamu Pendant has been carved from New Zealand Flower Jade by Moreton carvers based in Hokitika, South Island.
The single Pikorua figure eight represents the path of life, it is the eternity symbol based on the crisscross of the kete (woven basket) where the path of life in spite of challenges and differences continues and time is unstoppable.
Pounamu is the Māori name for greenstone or nephrite jade which is only found in the South Island. It is an extremely tough material and is said to absorb the owners essential spirit, feeding it back to them and enhancing their strength.
Flower Jade, also known as Marsden Jade, is characterised by its deep green colouring with mottled yellow markings, resembling a field of golden flowers.
