Dutch ..... Pounamu-steensoort (een woord uit het Maori) die zo helder is als glas en qua kleur varieert van olijf- tot blauwgroen. Dit was de eerste steensoort die als pounamu werd gebruikt, en het bestaat doorgaans uit boweniet in plaats van nefriet. Het meeste tangiwai wordt gedolven in twee afgelegen gebieden rond Piopiotahi (Milford Sound). |
