The virtues of Pounamu (Maori Jade) 
  • Kindness
  • Comes through in its wamth, lustre and brilliance
  • Honesty and integrity
  • Its interior can be viewed from outside revealing its inner beauty
  • Bravery
  • Can only be broken but never twisted out of its true shape formed by the artist
  • Friendship
  • Becomes warm when worn against the body and soaks up the body oils of the owner becoming one with them.
