Pounamu Porohita

Pounamu Porohita  | Kawakawa Stone

From their Whanganui studio, Madelyne Gourdin and Nick Spicer Balme blend world-class technical skill with a deep, personal respect for the stone of Aotearoa.

This Pounamu Porohita is a sophisticated example of how a simple shape can carry such deep and resonant meaning carved from rare Whakatū pounamu from Nelson.

The porohita represents the circle of life, a form with no beginning and no end that speaks to the eternal nature of our spirit.

What makes this piece truly special is the detail at the bottom, where the stone has been carved to reveal the unique character and hidden layers of the pounamu.

The disc shape is also associated with the moon and the rhythms of the natural world, representing balance and continuity.

Choose this timeless piece to ground you and celebrate the enduring spiritual heritage of New Zealand.

A beautiful companion to keep with you on your daily journey.
