Maori are the people that inhabited New Zealand when it was discovered by Europeans. Their language is also called Maori. According to their lore, they are not the original inhabitants - they arrived in New Zealand several centuries earlier than the Europeans, where they displaced the actual original inhabitants. The word Maori means 'normal' or 'ordinary person' in Maori. The word also occurs in other Polynesian languages, such as maoli in Hawaiian and Maohi in Tahitian standing for original, real. The official spelling is Māori. The name Maori is also used to describe the people and language of the Cook Islands.

Nephrite is a mineral with a dense felted actinolite. It has the chemical composition Ca2 (Mg, Fe) 5 [(OH, F) (Si4O11)] 2. Its name is derived from the Ancient Greek word nephros - kidney. Nephrite has been known since ancient times, as shown by numerous archaeological finds. Due to its toughness, nephrite is suitable for making tools. Later on they made decorative objects from it. In Babylon, nephrite was particularly appreciated because it was attributed magical powers. In China, nephrite had great mythological significance and was used in religious ceremonies. Even before the arrival of Columbus, it was very popular in Central America. According to the Sumerians, nephrite was able to resolve unexpected circumstances. It was claimed to be able to cure kidney ailments and renal colic. Nephrite is more common in nature than jadeite. Sometimes it forms large blocks. Stones weighing more than 5 tons have been found in Russia. A nephrite block weighing 30 tons has even been found in Burma. Historically significant deposits are located in China, around Khotan in Sinkiang Province, in the Kunlun Mountains, and in the vicinity of Kashgar. Cat's eye nephrites are found in Taiwan and Jordan. In the United States, nephrite is found in Brazil, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and Alaska. Important deposits are known in New Zealand. The Maori had already won nephrite before the arrival of the Europeans, in Arakuara and on Lake Wakapitu. These stones are translucent and are considered the most beautiful nephrites in the world, Smaller occurrences have been demonstrated in Australia, Kazakhstan, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Ireland.
