Greenstone


Sender: Wildfire
Greenstone, handcrafted on the West Coast, South Island, New Zealand

Greenstone is New Zealand nephrite jade. In Maori it is called "pounamu". Treasured, valuable and with spiritual significance, it has been used by Maori to denote status and authority, for adornment, and for making peace. I like jade myself :)
