Our beautiful Pounamu(Greenstone) are sourced from Aotearoa and originate from both North and South Islands. This beautiful piece of Pounamu(Greenstone) is in the shape of a Mere its also referred to as a Patu(but for me reference of Patu was that the item was carved but in wood and if it was carved in Pounamu(Greenstone) it was called Mere). This piece is suitable for someone 15 years old +.
