Maori pendant whale fin with garnish in pouch

Size of the nephrite pendant approx. 2.4 x 3.7 cm; supplied with black fabric strap and informative insert in pouch.

The nephrite jade for this Maori pendant comes from Canada and is particularly hard and durable. This makes it possible to cut even unusual and fine shapes such as these pendants with waves.

The shapes were created from the rich treasure trove of symbols of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand. The whale's fin is a symbol of protection and support. Ships are often accompanied by whales and dolphins, which is considered a good sign.

Nefrit is also known as New Zealand jade or Maori jade.
