Explore our jade carving studio, meet local artists and choose a piece of pounamu to take home!
Very informative tour. Loved how you were able to take photos and videos. Very enjoyed learning about the different types of pounamu and being able to touch them. Watching the In-store artists work was cool and how you got to leave with a your own pounamu. Great experience.
Kia ora, Thanks for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience and that you enjoyed the tour and had a great time learning about the different types of pounamu.
