He Korowai Pounamu Adult Half Length 🩵 This Korowai with jade, turquoise and white tones holds deep meaning. Jade (pounamu) symbolises strength, endurance, and a close connection to the land. It's a precious stone in Māori culture, representing both physical and spiritual resilience. Turquoise brings to mind the calm and healing power of water, symbolising peace, balance, and harmony. White represents purity, new beginnings, and clarity, reflecting wisdom and spiritual growth. Together, these colours represent a balance of strength, healing, and clarity. This Korowai reflects someone who is grounded in the land, with a peaceful yet strong presence, guided by wisdom and a deep respect for te ao turoa (the natural world). Mauri Ora Whānau 💫 ̄nau
