• Composition: Calcium magnesium silicate, fine-grained and durable
• Properties: Naturally tough, smooth when polished, often slightly translucent
• Formation: Created under immense heat and pressure along tectonic fault zones in New Zealand’s South Island

Care Guide:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth to remove oils or dust
• Avoid prolonged contact with water or harsh chemicals
• For a deeper polish or shine, a natural oil or wax can be applied occasionally
• Handle with care; while Pounamu is tough, sudden knocks may chip thinner edges

Each pendant is individually cut from boulder offcuts, so shape and coloration will vary slightly – ensuring your piece is truly unique.

The pendant is suspended from an adjustable waxed polyester cord, made adjustable vis barrel knots. An adjustable waxed polyester cord allows for versatile styling and ensures comfortable wear and is waterproof.
