[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10154104, member: 2844"]The cutest little souvenir, with two of the best things NZ has to offer, beautiful jade and the rare but very cute kiwi. A very nice find. The NZ term for their jade is pounamu, a Maori word. Another good thing is Maori art of course.:) NZ has gold too, mostly on the South Island, where most of the jade is too. The NZ goldrush started a few years after the Aussie one, so many miners from the Oz goldfields went on to NZ.[/QUOTE]
