Serpentinite Hei Matau Pounamu / Greenstone #2318

Description

• This Hei Matau is approximately 60 x 40 x 7 mm & weighs 25 grams
• The stone originates from the West Coast of New Zealand

The Hei Matau, or hook, represents strength, prosperity, good luck & safe travels over water. The fish hook shape of the Hei Matau finds its origins in Māori legend; that the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by Maui, using a fish hook taken from his grandmother’s jaw-bone. The wearer of a Hei Matau is seen as a provider & protector who is strong-willed & determined to succeed in life.

Over time this pounamu will absorb its wearer’s natural body oils, taking on qualities unique only to them. It will harness their energy & its colours & depth of detail will alter beautifully over time.

This magnificent taonga (treasure) was carved by us in our Creative Studio. If you have further questions, our Pounamu FAQ’s page may assist or you are welcome to contact us here. Also, if you desire a video of this exquisite piece let us know & we’ll be delighted to send you one.
