The Story Behind Our Customer’s “Pounamu” Jade:
The New Zealand Jade is also called “Pounamu”, which means “waters of green stone.” These are sacred and treasured stones to the Maouri people. They are only found on the South Island. The Maouri believe that the Pounamu must be gifted to someone and it is bad luck to buy one for yourself. They believe that your Pounamu absorbs the mana of their past owners and are to be passed down from generation to generation. The green stones were used in all of their weaponry, cooking supplies, tools and jewelry.
“This one was specifically given to me one day before I left New Zealand. I really wanted one but knew I couldn’t buy it for myself. So I prayed to God that someone would give me one. Then the day before I left to go back to the US, one of my good friends gifted it to me.” Tristan, McKinney, TX
