Serpentine
A favorite among the carvers of Zimbabwe, who bring out the best in carvings from this stone. The detail achieved with this stone is exquisite. It is found in many deposits throughout Zimbabwe and comes in various colors, such as black & green serpentine with fleched and veined yellows, greens, goldens and greys, spots & patches of with earthy brown and red colored veinage, and opal-ites gives a huge scope of textures and colors to complement every form or image represented. Hardness level varies from very soft to vary hard. The majority of the sculptors today, however do not carve from soft serpentine, but rather select deposits of rock that are hard and therefore more durable. Black Iron Serpentine derives it’s name from the deposits of iron found in it and is one of the hardest and darkest stones found in Zimbabwe. It has the most amazing black lustress finish that resembles the black opal and is highly sought after because of it’s fine finish, durability and hardness
