Large Tumbled New Zealand Pounamu Jade – Random Polished Stone for Collectors & Metaphysical Use- This purchase listing is for one stone only.
These are large polished tumble stones of Pounamu (New Zealand Nephrite Jade), many of which are offcuts from the carving process – giving each piece a unique shape and character. Some are smooth and rounded, while others retain more angular edges or raw undertones, reflecting their journey from larger stone to treasured keepsake.
When you order, you’ll receive one piece chosen at random from this batch. Each stone has been hand-polished to bring out the rich green tones and subtle variations that Pounamu is famous for. Whether you’re a collector, crystal enthusiast, or seeking a talisman for spiritual practice, these stones carry both the natural beauty of New Zealand and the mana of Pounamu.
💎 Spiritual Significance In Māori tradition, Pounamu is considered a taonga (treasure) imbued with mana (spiritual power). It symbolises strength, protection, and connection to ancestry. Tumbled offcuts, once part of a larger whole, carry the idea of resilience and continuation, making them meaningful for meditation, grounding, and personal growth.
