Pounamu Pekapeka Putiputi Pounamu/Flower Jade
The name pekapeka comes from the native bat of Aotearoa. With eyes in both the physical and spiritual realms, the pekapeka is a formidable kaitiaki (protector). Worn on special occasions, it is carved as twin outward facing manaia (guardians) connected by a single body. It is said that Māui-tikitiki-a-Taranga, the great trickster, would take on the form of the pekapeka.
This stunning flower jade pendant necklace is named after the blossom of a Karaka tree. It is found exclusively in the Marsden Valley on the west coast of the South Island, NZ. Flower Jade is a highly prized stone. It boasts green hues with contrasting inclusions of yellow and orange.
