💚 Caring for Your Greenstone:
Greenstone is durable, but treat it with respect and aroha. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. Many believe greenstone absorbs the energy of its wearer, becoming more beautiful and spiritually connected over time.
🎁 A Gift with Deep Meaning:
In Māori tradition, greenstone is often gifted to mark significant relationships and life events. The heart koru design is particularly meaningful for:
- Celebrating love and romantic relationships
- Honoring family bonds and friendships
- Marking new beginnings (new jobs, moves, life changes)
- Supporting someone through personal growth
- Expressing compassion and emotional connection
This pendant makes a treasured gift or personal keepsake — carrying both love and the spirit of Aotearoa close to your heart.
