This greenstone pendant is fashioned in the same shape as the pre-European Maori greenstone mere ( club).

Greenstone is an incredibly hard stone, which is why, during Maori war years, the stone was used to make Mere ( clubs).  A blow from a Mere could split the opponents head open.

Nowadays one only sees Mere in museums, but you can wear this smaller version ( 2 1/8" long) around your neck.  We also have stunning full size Mere if you want one to add to your weapons or Maori collection.

Spiritually, the mere pendant  represents the facing and overcoming of difficulties.  A great gift for someone facing challenges in their life, to give them strength.

The Greenstone Mere Pendant comes with its own traditional neck cord, and a card detailing its origins.  Genuine New Zealand Greenstone.
