My Treasure: Pounamu

I have a greenstone, Pounamu.  It come from the West Cost, in New Zealand, from the Arahura river.  My Dad's friend George made it for me.  It is special to me because it was carved especially for me and it is a Manaia symbol.  I keep it on my wall in my room.  I LOVE! it.

Manaia
The guardian
The carrier of supernatural powers.
Traditionally depicted with the head of a bird, the body of a man and the tail of a fish - representing sky, earth and sea and the balance between. It is likened to a bird sitting on your shoulder looking after ones spirit, and when your time comes it will guide your spirit where it is supposed to go.'
