The photo of these genuine New Zealand Greenstone Manaia Pendants shows you just how different New Zealand greenstone can look, depending on the piece of stone.  Yet each piece is beautiful in its own way, and it genuinely comes from New Zealand greenstone (pounamu), found only on the west coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

These Greenstone Manaia Pendants ( you receive one per single order) carry a spiritual meaning.  The Manaia, a Maori mythical being, is a protector, a guardian, over the sky, land, and sea.  Thus it is worn by those who want a feeling of protection, and can often be seen worn by members of the armed forces.

The Pounamu Manaia Pendant measures approximately 1 3/4" (4cm) and comes to you on a traditional black waxed adjustable cord.
