A close relative of nephrite jade, tangiwai or bowenite is a stone greatly prized by the Maori people; and with this particular batch of tangiwai, it's not hard to see why.
 
Measuring in at 69mm long and 32mm wide at its widest point, this gently-curved pendant shows rich surface patterning coupled with an excellent translucency and lovely internal colours and patterns. Light of weight and polished to a glossy sheen, it's a comfortable and attractive piece for everyday wear.
