Greenstone, also known as pounamu or nephrite jade, is primarily found on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is traditionally significant to the Māori people and is often used for carving traditional jewelry and artifacts. The major deposits of greenstone are located in areas such as the Arahura River and the Hokitika River.
The protolith for greenstone is usually basaltic or andesitic volcanic rock that has undergone metamorphism, resulting in the formation of chlorite, epidote, and actinolite minerals that give greenstone its characteristic green color. These rocks are typically found in greenschist facies metamorphic environments.
