Pounamu Roimata 4

Approx 10 x 2cm

Kokopu Pounamu(sourced from the West Coast of New Zealand).

Black plaited cord, packaged in a black velvet bag.

Kōkopu comes in many colour variations from light to dark browns, creamy whites, light blues, olive greens to yellow even golden.

Kōkopu is most recognizable by its distinctive brown spots which are very similar to the native fresh water mountain trout from which it gets its name.

In the beginning of NZ’s jade industry this stone was usually discarded because it was not gem grade, but in modern times varieties like inanga and kōkopu have grown in popularity because of their different characteristics.

Please note: There may be a slight degree of colour variation based on different computer or mobile phone screen resolutions that you are viewing from as well as the lighting when photo's were taken.
