Antique New Zealand Fine Gold Nugget brooch Kia Ora genuine estate find pin

This is a very unusual totally original Victorian Ladies Pin made from 9ct rose Gold and a wonderful natural pure Gold Nugget which I believe was found in a River deposit or mine in New Zealand in the 19th century, the nugget itself is approx 1/3 ounce and I have weighed separately and shown in the images. The pin is marked "Kia Ora" which I think is a good wish or blessing in Maori but I do not know exactly? Not something I have handled before and I surpose must be quite rare. Total length is 5.5 cm long for the nugget and pendant, the actual nugget is approx 2.2 cm x 1.6 cm. Please look at the images closely. Please look at the images closely as they represent an important part of the description, thanks.
