New Zealand Pounamu Hei Matau (Fish Hook) Pendant, 14K Bail, 2 7/8"
This pendant is a traditional Maori Hei Matau (fish hook) carving, crafted from New Zealand Pounamu, a type of nephrite jade treasured by the Maori people. It features a rich, deep green hue with subtle variations in tone, characteristic of high-quality Pounamu. The pendant measures 2 7/8 inches tall (including the 14K gold bail), 1 13/16 inches wide, and 7mm thick.
This type of Pounamu, with its intense color and smooth, translucent appearance, is indicative of older, riverbed-found stone. It contrasts with newer, more commercially available Pounamu, which often exhibits a paler, more mottled green and less translucence. This difference reflects the depletion of easily accessible, high-grade deposits.
The Hei Matau symbolizes strength, prosperity, and safe passage over water, holding deep cultural significance.
