NZ Greenstone Fish Hook with Koru Pendant - 70mm

NZ Greenstone Fish Hook Pendant.

A beautiful Hei Matau (hook) from a lovely bright green piece of Kahurangi Pounamu.

A wonderful simple design.

Hei Matau (Fishhook) - Originally Maori have been fishermen.

Their main food source was the sea, so a fishhook of high quality was a very valuable item to own.

The hook became a symbol of prosperity, abundance, good health, power, authority and respect for the sea and its life in it.

They also provide good luck and safety while travelling across water.

The spiral is a Koru, represents the fern frond as it opens bringing new life and purity to the world.

It also represents peace, tranquility and spirituality along with a strong sense of re growth or new beginnings.

The Koru is also often associated with nurturing so when interlocked with others is frequently used to represent the strength and purity of a loving relationship within a family.
