NZ Greenstone Hook Hei Matau Pendant - 90mm - #91A
The greenstone (Pounamu) hook, or hei matau, is a traditional Maori symbol that represents strength, prosperity, good luck and safe travel - especially over water. Its curved shape is inspired by the fish hook, which was vital for survival and connection to the sea. Wearing a greenstone hook is believed to bring protection, determination and a strong sense of purpose. It’s also a symbol of respect for the ocean and the journeys we take in life.
