Który minerał zwany jest przez Maorysów pounamu?
Drawit
Nefryt
Jadeit
Uwarowit
Jadeit występujący na Nowej Zelandii zwany jest przez Maorysów pounamu. W jego poszukiwaniu Maorysi prowadzili ekspedycje w najbardziej niedostępne obszary Wyspy Południowej. Pounamu ceniono za twardość i ostrość krawędzi – Maorysi, podobnie jak inni Polinezyjczycy, nie mieli dostępu do metali. Przypisywano mu także znaczenie mistyczne.
