Tremolite (Jade, Pounamu, Greenstone) is an amphibole group, complex (Ca2Mg5Si8O22(OH)2) silicate, found in metamorphosed Dolomite, and low-grade ultra-basic rocks.

It has a felted texture, making it a very tough rock. It may be further hardened by fire.

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.

What is the South Island in Maori creation mythology?

Te Waka a Maui (the canoe of Maui) is the Maori name for the South Island, and refers to a legendary fishing expedition in which Maui's brothers set off on a fishing trip but without Maui. He had hidden himself in the canoe however and revealed himself when well out at sea. He insisted that his brothers fish in a particular spot, and using a fishhook made from the jawbone of a grandmother, at the appropriate spot, he fished up the North Island. Hence its name as te Ika a Maui, (the Fish of Maui). The prow of the canoe is the north of the S. Island, and the stern is at the south of the S. Island.In Maori mythology, greenstone Pounamu, is created from water, hence the alternate name of Te Wai Pounamu (the waters of greenstone) for the South Island.As with much mythology, there are several alternate stories on offer.
