content about paunamu is so scarce and rare. thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos! i feel educated and ive learned a lot! please keep making informative videos
Can you explain what you mean by this shit is stealing it? Ngai tahu have all the rights to pounamu harvesting and mining on the west coast of te wai pounamu, however they do not own all pounamu.
@@janinekaretai4306 my Taonga pounamu that I wear belongs to me !!! Yes it comes from Te Tai Poutini Nou Kai Tahu but I state my ownership of all my pieces of pounamu and whakapapa from Tainui me Nga Puhi . I get your point and passion but in regards to Kai Tahu owning all Pounamu ,you might want to be specific because your sounding like a Mana muncher.
Omg I really love your whakaaro on blessings and karakia . Doing mahi whakairo is suchhhh a spiritual rush of so many good things and emotions . Wairua , manawa ,hinengaro, ihi , wehi , such a healing and process carving . The connection , passion and love for this mahi is what you are giving to your Taonga through touch , oils . I bless my Taonga with karakia and with the love and passion I have for our Taonga tapu tapu.
I ended up getting a toki made out of Flower Jade and carved from a brilliant carver in Hokitika. I felt a huge connection to the piece as soon as I saw it. Such a beautiful piece.
Thanks , never knew there was so many kinds . Or that my “ Douglas Creek piece “ was magnetic , super cool to learn it has magnetite in it , and that explains why I’ve “ felt it to be very grounding . “ Magnetite is a load stone excellent for grounding and healing . I put it , to my magnet , and yea really magnetic . Mine has veins of very clear green through it as well , giving it the jade inclusions . Thanks , I learned a lot 👍
Nice channel, was actually looking for a way to fix/tie up my sons shark tooth pendant and found your channel. Reminded me of my time in NZ 20 yrs agoand the bone Manaia I lost about 10 years back.
Ka rawe ehoa💯 i have a few heirloom peices that are rare pounamu in which my son will inherit them all i have a gorgeous flawless kahurangi hei tiki and also a ataahua totoweka hei toki which is amazing,i thought this was amazing 💚 keep up your awesome work.
Thank you so much for doing this for us. I’ve read about this topic but never had the opportunity to watch and learn from someone so we’ll versed and intimately connected to the topic.
Tahutahi....Read the book Where no birds sing by Tahu Pòtiki...in it was mention of pounamu stolen. A pilot lost control of his chopper after taking pounamu. He was lucky to survive. I'm sure others responsible for taking pounamu were also served the same repercussions. Loving the kòrero of the different types of pounamu and their names. I am learning how to cut shape and polish stone. My first peice was a serpentine I bought back form Glenorghy. I learnt very quickly what I had was otherwise known as fools gold....lol. I do have another peice but not sure of its name and does not compare to any you have shown. Ngaa mihi
I've worked on a couple stones once. Long time ago with a guy from down south. One piece had silver flecks in it the other one gold kawakwa and tangiwai it's a softer stone to work with
In Chinese, pīpīwharauroa would be called “cat’s eye jade” (貓眼玉), and it’s very highly prized. Most jewelry collectors these days are after jadeite/fei cui (which also fetches some outrageous prices), but people who appreciate history or traditional culture still prefer nephrite, especially cat’s eye and white “mutton fat” jade.

You can get it off trademe, take the sellers word for it. Send me a message and I might be able to find some for you, go through my site. Campbellcarving.co.nz
Wow awesome video thanks heaps I was searching to see if a rock I was given is a real greenstone it looks like the middle one on your bench. Any tips on shining it up I’d love to bring it to its glory and display it or give it to someone who can make things out of it and give items to loved ones ect
Is there anyway you could ID what is said to be greenstone? I have what looks and feels like greenstone found in the Rakaia river do you have an email address I can send you some pictures on?
@@CampbellCarving yes that's why I am confused as all greenstone is from the west coast, ideally need to find someone who can do a cut to reveal the true color, it's olive and dark green with black inclusions in the center transparent on the edges and very hard, I do plan to make some necklaces out of it as I'm urrently learning how to carve so it's a win win
An alternative guess could be serpentine, since it’s formed in close proximity to nephrite/pounamu but at lower temperatures and pressures, and can come in similar colors. A good way to narrow it down would be to scratch it with a steel knife or nail. Serpentine is relatively soft, so steel will leave a mark, but won’t leave a mark on pounamu, which is considerably harder.
what's your opinion on pakeha carving pounamu and making pounamu jewelry cause people have told me it doesnt matter. (im a jeweler wanting to you pounamu)
Like anything is is about respect and intention. Have good intentions to uphold thebmana of the pounamu and mana whenua and the process. And have respect for the people the culture and those that have been doing it for a long time.
Kia Ora, thank you for making your videos they are very informative, I have a question if I may ask, I have 2 pieces of Pounamu which I am finding hard to identify, searches online have resulted in mixed information would I be able to show them to you please? Thank you 🙏
Most of them, anything not jade i would have said. Serpentine is the other stone that may have been in there. Was there one in particular you were curious about?
Hi man, I'm actually in New Zealand and I would like to find a place or someone for make a pounamu necklace for my family. Can you help me ? Thanks in advance. Your video are really cool and I really enjoy to watch it :)
I learned so much from you i would have just taken it without knowing it’s sacred to a specific tribe so thanks again because getting cursed is serious and something to stay well away from
Maori murdered the people that were in South Island before, much like Nasca ppl murdered the Paracas in Peru. Paracas were cousins of the previous inhabitants of New Zealand, red haired ppl with large skulls, possibly related to some aboriginals in Oz. You have no right to claim ownership of it, it doesn't belong to Ngai Tahu

That's because all pounamu belongs to the Ngai Tahu tribe and this shit is stealing it and profiting from it. Pounamu is not a trinket!!!!!!

Love that chatoyant effect at 8:40. Thanks for showing us all these amazing jades.

Very helpful. I've got a few pounamu pieces; I fell in love with the stone when I visited New Zealand.

Flower jade is gorgeous

huge clam in the ocean !!!!!
Awww love Marsden Flower Jade...He àtaahua 🌿
Āe one of my all time favs

You can use wet and dry sand paper and dip it in water as you go, start really rouch to shape and go up to 1200g, should help it
Thanks heaps for the reply I’ll do my best
Is there anyway you could ID what is said to be greenstone? I have what looks and feels like greenstone found in the Rakaia river do you have an email address I can send you some pictures on?
Unlikely to be pounamu if found on the East Coast, it is all from the west coast.

Are all the stones you're showing in this video considered to be Jade?
Most of them, anything not jade i would have said. Serpentine is the other stone that may have been in there. Was there one in particular you were curious about?
👍👍
Nephrite is a fascinating material, processed since the stone age
I like
I got a toki next week
No mention of the Otago stone? Totally different stone.
Not sure about which otago stone you mean. I havnt covered all types of Pounamu I'm sure, which are you referring too?
I’m looking to buy a Patu
Hi, I don't have any ready to go, send me message from my site if you want to talk more about getting one made. campbellcarving.co.nz
We're do you buy your ponamu from?
I collect some myself. Buy some from whānau on the coast and some from others carvers.
@@CampbellCarving were in new Zealand do you live would you take workshops?
@@CampbellCarving I love you're videos you helped me to make my first tiki im super proud of it to thank you I made it out of opal potch and color
Awesome send me a message through my site campbellcarving.co.nz @@Fiona-y5m
I have a black stone with some red
Tangiwai does not usually have black and red that I know of.
"Sparkly stuff": Possible be iron pyrite, also known as fool's gold.

You are not allowed that pounamu. Give it to Ngai Tahu kaitiaki!!!!!
If your talking about the tahutahi, then yea, that is what I said in the video, it does belong to them, and will end up with them.
I learned so much from you i would have just taken it without knowing it’s sacred to a specific tribe so thanks again because getting cursed is serious and something to stay well away from
