#pounamu
My parents gifted this taonga to me for my birthday last week, a pounamu necklace and a pair of pounamu earrings. They wanted to recognise the work I've been putting into my te reo Māori journey. Very precious.

Christchurch peeps!

Missing Pounamu

"Hi Ki Ora my brother misplaced his pounamu - he is unsure how or were but please if you find it please return it - this is an incredibly special piece and he is gutted"

He frequents: "Lincoln, Papanui, and the hills for walks."

Hello. This is a pretty rock I found in AoNZ. I'm still polishing it up, but I don't want to ruin the original shape. Nothing like finding a perfect teardrop of pounamu on a rainy day 😍

I read this and it was great. My only criticism is that I wanted there to be more of it.
He iti, he pounamu.

I'm really not superstitious or spiritual but 3 weeks ago I lost my pounamu greenstone necklace and today I found it at the gym down the crack of a floorboard in the changing room.... I feel re-energised, like me again!!

Ahakoa he iti he pounamu 😍
The Wellington bird revival continues to be just a wholly good news story.

Saw a wee titipounamu friend in Zealandia yesterday (first time I've seen one in the city); so great they're getting more widespread.

It’s my 29th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup.

It’s NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿 This is a Māori hei tiki (ornamental pendent) made from jade, known in Māori as pounamu. Hei tiki had, and still have, powerful ritual meaning and are symbols of good luck, fertility & connection to your ancestors.

New rule, if you are wearing pounamu and you voted for any of the parties in this govt you need to give it back.

Impressive pounamu at #AvondaleMarkets. The whaea who brought them was lovely too.

This is the southern blue, which lives in tussock fields a cross the South Island te wai pounamu. They are absolutely stunning to see in person. I'm afraid my painting does not do them justice.

I got the most beautiful pounamu from the husband and he sneakily got my mother to take it to be blessed by visiting Queenstown Great-Aunt on Friday 💖💚💛
