Kia Ora Brittany Is this stone known as Douglas Creek Pounamu, looks very similar in your photos? s********1 (33 • 04:36 pm, Sun, 28 Apr )Hi Steve, no this one isn't Douglas Creek, it was sourced in the Hokitika area. It does have some similar characteristics though :) carvedinstone (48 • Sunday, 28 April 2024 )
