Manawa Pounamu Necklace

Pounamu Manawa / Heart Necklace

This beautiful pounamu is a natural blend of two distinct varieties, Totoweka and Īnanga, from the South Island of New Zealand.

Totoweka means “blood of the weka”, referring to the distinctive reddish markings or streaks found within this rare variety of pounamu.

 Īnanga takes its name from the native whitebait fish and refers to a pale, whitish or creamy-green variety of pounamu.

Together, these two varieties create a unique piece with its own natural colouring, markings and character. Each piece of pounamu is naturally different, making every taonga truly one of a kind.

Sourced from the South Island, Te Waipounamu, N.Z
