🌼💚 Raukaraka (Pitupitu) Pounamu – The Blossoming Spirit of Aotearoa

Known affectionately as “flower jade,” Raukaraka or Pitupitu Pounamu is a uniquely New Zealand treasure, distinguished by its delicate streaks of creamy yellows and soft greens that weave together in natural floral patterns. This living tapestry captures the gentle beauty and vibrant life of the whenua, carrying the essence of growth, renewal, and sacred blossoming.

At Crystillery, we celebrate Raukaraka as a stone of rare elegance and deep connection — a physical expression of the flourishing life force within the land of Aotearoa and within ourselves. Its patterns tell stories of change, resilience, and natural grace, reminding us of the cyclical rhythms that sustain all living things.

Rooted in Māori tradition, Raukaraka Pounamu is believed to:

• Embody growth, renewal, and creative potential
• Connect wearers to the mauri (life force) of the land and ancestors
• Inspire hope, beauty, and patience through change
• Serve as a symbol of whakapapa — the unfolding story of family and place

Raukaraka is a celebration of the earth’s artistry and the flourishing spirit within us all — a reminder to bloom fully, wherever we are planted.
