What Is Greenstone?
Greenstone, known in New Zealand as pounamu, is a treasured stone found mainly in the rivers and mountains of the South Island. For generations it has been carved into meaningful jewellery and taonga, often gifted to mark important moments in life.
Because every piece of greenstone forms naturally over thousands of years, each pendant is completely unique.
Common shapes include:
• Koru — symbolising growth and new beginnings
• Toki — representing strength, courage, and determination
• Twist — symbolising connection and lifelong bonds
• Roimata (teardrop) — representing healing and comfort
Today, greenstone necklaces remain one of the most meaningful pieces of jewellery in New Zealand culture, often worn daily or gifted to mark important life moments.
Why Authentic Greenstone Matters
Not all greenstone jewellery sold online is genuine. Authentic pounamu should come from New Zealand and be carefully carved by experienced artisans.
At The Sanctuary BNE, our greenstone pieces are sourced from New Zealand and chosen for their natural beauty and quality. Each piece includes:
• Natural New Zealand greenstone (pounamu)
• A kete pouch for gifting
• A meaning card explaining the symbol
This makes every pendant a thoughtful and meaningful gift.
