Inanga is a soft grey-green variety of Pounamu, revered for its versatile translucency, which can range from highly translucent to opaque. Traditionally, it was the desired material for creating mere (weapons) and patu (clubs) due to its strength and durability.

Highly prized in Māori culture, Inanga symbolises resilience and practicality. The subtle tones of this stone evoke the calm, flowing waters of New Zealand’s rivers, where it has been treasured for centuries. Its understated beauty makes it ideal for creating jewellery that carries the heritage and mana of Aotearoa.
