Lava Glass

Inanga Pounamu Teardrop Medium

$995

Inanga Pounamu Teardrop Medium. Inspired by the Inanga variety of Pounamu, which is usually pearly-white or grey-green in colour and varies from translucent to opaque, resembling the pale colour and transparency of young whitebait.

For Māori, pounamu is of great cultural and spiritual value and is considered tapu or sacred. In traditional Māori life, pounamu was used for everything from jewellery and adornments signifying the wearer's mana or status, to tools and weapons.
