Found primarily in the rivers and mountains of Te Wai Pounamu, the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, it has been valued for centuries as a taonga representing strength, connection and enduring relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"990\"\u003eTraditionally, pounamu is gifted rather than purchased for oneself, as it is believed to carry the energy and intention of the giver.
