Pounamu is the Maori name for several types of hard, durable and highly valued nephrite jade and bowenite found in New Zealand, thanks to Wikipedia. It is found only on the South Island.
Be aware, however, that as nephrite jade is, by definition, a mixture of amphiboles with an interlocking microcrystalline structure, pure actinolite or pure tremolite minerals, it is therefore not jade.
