Where can you find pounamu?

Pounamu are found in New Zealand. New Zealand is made up of two islands, the north and the south. Pounamu, or actually Te Wai Pounamu, is 'The South Island'. Green stones, also known as Jade, are found in New Zealand. The natives (Maori) people carved jade into weapons and necklaces called pounamu. The maori believed-and some still do-that Pounamu protects you from evil spirits, the more clear and pure (lighter) the pounamu (Jade stone) is, the more it will protect you.
