A timeless teardrop shaped pendant that carries deep spiritual significance in Māori culture. Its gentle form symbolises the flow of positive energy (mauri), offering healing, comfort, and strength through life's journey. Worn close to the heart it serves as a touchstone for meditation, grounding the wearer in the wisdom of the land and ancestors.

The 3 lines represent the 3 Baskets of Knowledge. 
Te Kete Tuauri carries ancestral knowledge and rituals.  Te Kete Aronui brings knowledge of the natural world and the arts. Te Kete Tuatea holds knowledge of good and evil, teaching and learning.
The 3 lines can also represent Past, Present and Future, or Ancestors, the ones living now and the generations to come.

The sacred stone of Aotearoa. Pounamu of this beautiful land encompasses nephrite jade, serpentine, and tangiwai (bowenite). To the Māori of New Zealand, Pounamu (greenstone) is more than just a stone, it is a taonga (treasure) woven into the spiritual and cultural fabric of their ancestors. Revered as a gift from the gods, it carries the mana (prestige) of the land and the strength of the rivers.

When worn close to the skin it absorbs your wairua (spirit); over time its lustre deepens along with the bond between wearer and stone. Pounamu is a gift from the heart and as such should be worn or displayed with respect and pride.

Comes with an adjustable cord and a jute drawstring bag.
