African Art
"Rasta Head" sculpted in verdite by Takedze Chipembere
Verdite is a semi-precious stone, formed over 3,500 million years ago, and found only in southern Africa. The highest quality verdite contains corundum (the second hardest natural mineral known to science) and is only found in Zimbabwe. Only the more experienced sculptor will ever use this medium. Verdite rates between a 7.0-9.0, depending upon the amount of corundum inclusions, on the Hohs hardness scale. Due to the rareness of verdite, carvings from this stone will become increasingly more valuable.
