Expressive piece hand carved out of Verdite stone and mounted on a wooden base.
The Green Stone of Africa - Verdite, a semi- precious stone, occurs among some of the oldest rocks in the world, dating back over 3500 million years. Because there is only one known deposit in Zimbabwe and no other deposit of comparable quality anywhere in the world, verdite artworks have the double attraction of beauty & intrinsic value.
Because it is a quickly diminishing resource, the passage of time can only enhance this attraction. Verdite has only been found in very close proximity to gold. Rare and beautiful, verdite occurs in a variety of changing patterns & shades ranging from golden browns to rich emerald greens & blues.
Height: 5 1/2" x Width:2 3/4" x Depth: 3 1/4" - It is 6 3/4" tall on its wooden base.
