The story behind your pounamu

Deane Moreton’s family has been involved in the New Zealand Pounamu Industry since the early 1970's and Te Wahi Pounamu brings to fruition his vision of creating authentic Pounamu pieces.

From their origins as alluvial stone from the West Coast of the South Island to the beautiful carvings and jewellery you purchase, Deane is committed to providing you with the information you need to discover the unique origins of your pounamu through the Ngāi Tahu Pounamu Authentication Scheme.
