Meaning of the Greenstone Heart
In Māori culture, the heart carved in pounamu represents aroha — love, compassion, and the bonds between people. Greenstone itself is considered a taonga (treasure), believed to carry the spirit of those who wear it. A 50mm pounamu heart is a generous, unmistakable symbol of love — worn close to the heart, it becomes a daily reminder of connection to someone or somewhere deeply cherished.

I ordered this for my first child’s 21st birthday as this is similar to the one my Mum gave me before she passed. And I have to say that I was so impressed with it when it arrived!
Beautiful packaging, handwritten note and perfect pounamu.
I just know my daughter will love and cherish her piece of our whenua xx
