    Just a warning that I believe these are the guys behind Te Wahi pounamu that regularly hock Canadian Jade off as Pounamu… came across some of this in Walker and Hall and it clearly had characteristics of Canadian Jade. They told me that it comes with an official code to prove that it's real NZ Pounamu but that code did not lead to the official Ngāi Tahu like my last pieces did but instead it led to some other website called 'Te Wahi Pounamu' and looked like a knock off version of the authentic scheme.

    It also seems a bit of unusual to buy taonga at such a large discount, feels like it's undermining the mana of the stone but I guess this is the Cheapies website and I'm guilty of loving a bargain as much as anyone.

    Seems dodgy… be wary whānau

    • We are manufacturers of pounamu products in Christchurch and the West Coast and have done so for the past 40 years.

      We purchase our greenstone from legitimate sources on the South Island. We do import products from overseas and when displayed on our website this is clearly stated.

      We support and contract carvers throughout New Zealand with reference to the carvers on our website.

      We are also registered with Ngai Tahu Pounamu and provide tracking details with pieces purchased from our carvers affiliated with Nga Tahu.

      Te Wahi Pounamu website is an informational site only and is not a site to track your stone.

      We stand behind our products 100%.

      • "We purchase our greenstone from legitimate sources on the South Island. We do import products from overseas and when displayed on our website this is clearly stated."

        How about the products labelled as Pounamu in other retail stores that you supply? Why is it not clearly stated as Canadian Jade when you can see chromium all through it?

        Your reply seems weaselly as bro.
