Kei te taumata tuarua te pounamu hei tauhokohoko tarukino.

Koia ngā kōrero a te kaitiaki o pounamu o Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Waewae a Francois Tumahai, i te wārena hopu tangata i whakamanahia e ngā pirihimana hei patu i te rere o ngā tarukino i te motu.

Hei tā Tūmahai tonu, e mahi tahi ana rātau me ngā pirihi kia whakahokia ngā kohatu pounamu kua tāhaetia e te tangata te pounamu hei hoko pūroi whakapōauau.

Hei tāna hoki, ka roro pahū te tangata i te nui kē hoki o ngā pounamu e kitea ana e ngā pirihi e urutomo ana ki te whakamutu i te rere o ngā pūroi i te whenua.

Nō te Noema tonu, hopu ai ngā pirihi i ngā pounamu e 60 kirokaramu, e whakamahia ana e ngā kaiutu pūroi hei ea i te nama a ngā kaihoko pūroi.

Hei tā Tumahai, kei te mahi tahi rātau ko Te Rūnanga me Ngā Pirihi, kia whakahokia mai ngā pounamu e kitea ana e te tangata i te wā o te urutomo a te ture.
