For many New Zealanders pounamu is more than a souvenir — it has a treasured spiritual significance. Pounamu is found in many places on the West Coast and is prized for its strength, durability and beauty, so buying a pendant or hand-carved piece from the Fox Markets is particularly significant. Craftspeople also sell handmade wooden toys here.
