Sterling Silver Kiwiana sacred designer Charm that will enhance your bracelet to create an individually designed bracelet. Jade (Pounamu) Greenstone is our name for the nephrite jade that comes from the South Island of New Zealand. We also call it pounamu. Nephrite is principally a calcium magnesium silicate. Its structure is made up of tightly felted crystal fibres which is the reason for its' incredible toughness (Mohs 6.5) and its unique structure, it is also the reason we can do what we do with it and why the surface of a finished carving possesses a smooth glowing lustre and a greasy or wax-like quality. Designed and carved by Nita Henry NZ award winning designer
