From these humble beginnings, his passion grew into a lifelong journey of storytelling through design. Today, his artistry reflects the strength, beauty, and mana of Pounamu, with every piece rooted in Māori traditions and values.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis graceful Whale Tail pendant is carved from genuine Hapopo pounamu. This piece showcases a vivid, bright apple-green tone throughout, with fine dark speckling scattered across the surface, brightening beautifully where the light passes through the thinner curves of the spiral. The design combines a flowing koru-style spiral with the sweeping form of a whale tail, symbolising new beginnings, strength, and a safe journey — both on land and at sea. Hung on an adjustable cord, this one-of-a-kind piece carries both the story of its West Coast origins and the natural vibrancy Hapopo stone is known for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHapopo - Genuine West Coast Greenstone.
