NZ Tangiwai Greenstone Earrings 63mm #AS86
Tangiwai is clear like glass, and ranges from olive-green to bluish-green in colour. Tangiwai is the most ancient form of pounamu. It is bowenite rock, which is different in composition to the more common nephrite. Most Tangiwai is sourced from two isolated areas at Piopiotahi (Milford Sound)
These earrings show black until you shine a bright torch under the earrings and see the beauty of the clear green stone.
Measurements: Approx 63x5mm.
