PΔ«pΔ«wharauroa pounamu is a rare variety of New Zealand greenstone that displays a shimmering, chatoyant cat's-eye band of light, resembling the iridescent green and white plumage of the shining cuckoo bird.

Thank you very much L.S. Stone for this beautiful pounamu! Go check out all of his creations on his page πŸ’š

A wee token of appreciation for a very special teacher aide who has helped care for my niece Penny during her time at kindergarten. πŸ’š

My sister Megan asked me to make this piece as a special thank you. Penny is autistic and non-verbal, so having people around her who take the time to understand her, support her and help her feel safe and included means more than words can really say.

Penny has just turned 5 and is now heading off on her next big adventure β€” school. This piece was made to represent just how important this teacher aide has been in Penny’s kindergarten journey.

A heartfelt thank you for all the patience, kindness, care and support you’ve given our wee Penny. You’ve been such an important piece of her world. πŸ§©πŸ’š

A special commission completed πŸ’š

A manaia and fern, carved from beautiful Nelson pounamu with gorgeous blue-grey shades running through the stone.

This was honestly some of the hardest pounamu I’ve carved to date, so it certainly made me work for the finished result , but it was well worth it.

Finished with a pāua eye and fine fern detailing, this is a completely unique taonga made especially for its new owner.

πŸ–€ Little Fantail Porowhita πŸ–€

A sweet little piece finished today, carved from beautiful pounamu with so much natural character running through the stone.

The porowhita represents the circle of life, connection and the continuous journey we walk, while the pΔ«wakawaka (fantail) is often seen as a messenger β€” a little reminder of those who have passed and the connections that remain with us. πŸͺΆ

I absolutely love how the colouring of this pounamu creates its own backdrop around the pΔ«wakawaka. Every piece of stone has its own story, and sometimes you just have to let it lead the way.

Hand carved with aroha here in the Deep South. πŸ’š

This elegant roimata has the most beautiful depth to it, deep forest greens flowing into rich blue-green tones, with the light revealing something different each time you look at it.
The graceful roimata form allows the natural beauty and character of the pounamu to really shine, finished with a hand-bound muka-style cord.
A beautiful taonga with incredible colour and depth. πŸ’š
