New Zealand Lunate
The original lunate pendent found in New Zealand appears to be of clear transparent greenstone, from the Island of Ruapuke, in Foveaux Straits. Its characteristics include a notched edge and the stone itself is thought to originate from Tangiwai, New Zealand. There was a second rare Lunate-shaped object discovered in the New Zealand ethnological region as well.
A handful of ancient societies shaped their tools in the form of lunate such as the Puebloan peoples who originated around San Juan County, Utah. New Zealand is also known by archaeologists to have a very unique array of material culture. There have also been findings of lunate dating back to the 3rd/4th millennium B.C.
