Inanga Roimata handmade and carved by Dion at Pounamu Queensland.
This exquisite Roimata Pounamu, often worn as a pendant and given as a gift to show appreciation, respect, and a deep connection between individuals, is considered a highly meaningful and treasured gift in Maori culture. Believed to bring positive energy, comfort, and strength, each piece is carefully crafted to honor its rich heritage.
Measuring 8cm and strung on a natural plaited cord with traditional lashing on top, this pendant truly shows skilled artisan craftsmanship.
This type of Pounamu is named after the Inanga fish, a native whitebait known for its pale, silvery-white appearance, which the stone resembles. Inanga pounamu is prized for its soft, pearly grey-green hues and translucence. Comes packaged in black keepsake box.
