This beautiful New Zealand Greenstone Manaia Necklace would be my current favourite.  With a Koru carved into its lower edge, a whale tail, and Maori carving on the whale tail, it is a work of art.

This Greenstone Jade Manaia Koru Whale Tail Pendant is a Maori guardianship symbol.

In Maoridom, designs carry a spiritual message. The Manaia is a carrier of supernatural powers, and it acts as a provider and protector over the sky, earth and sea. It is normally depicted with a bird-like head, but often with other human features as well. In this case the whale tail signifies its protection of sea creatures. 

The Manaia is worn for its protective powers, and is a favourite of people in the armed forces.

The cutout Korus add an attractive feature. The Koru design represents peace, tranquility, harmony, and new beginnings.

The beautiful Maori carving on the lower right edge really finishes off this exquisite necklace.

The greenstone Manaia can be worn by both men and women. This pounamu pendant measures approximately 2 3/4" (7 cm) long and comes to you on a traditional black cord.

The Manaia also comes to you on a descriptive card, to always remind you of its significance.

This Manaia has been photographed to show you how it looks when light shines on it.  Against your skin it will look a mid green.

Proudly made in New Zealand from New Zealand greenstone.
