Pounamu Toki 86

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

Totoweka is usually similar to the mid green kawakawa variety but differs in that the spotting or streaks are red like blood. It is rare to find totoweka in the Westland jade fields, but when a piece is discovered it is highly cherished and sometimes becomes the show piece of the fossicker’s collection. Large deposits of totoweka occur in the South Westland area. The name comes from toto (blood), weka (Native bush hen) or weka blood.

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.
