Verdite, up to palm size

A rough, unpolished piece of verdite, up to palm size. The colour runs through several shades of green — dark forest green, olive and teal — interwoven with significant patches and streaks of reddish-brown and orange-brown. Some areas carry a distinctly lustrous, metallic greenish-gold sheen, particularly on the left, and the surface is rough and uneven.

Verdite — a green stone associated with Africa's ancient greenstone belts — is traditionally linked with inner strength and grounding.

Each piece is a natural formation, so the mix of green, the amount of red banding and the sheen vary from stone to stone. You will receive a randomly selected piece similar to the one pictured.
