Zimbabwean sculptors source their raw materials locally – that is, in the north, east and middle of Zimbabwe.

The stones they use most frequently belong to the geological family Serpentinite.

Serpentine is a sedimentary rock, originally deposited on a sandy seafloor.

It is also metamorphic, since subsequent exposure to intense heat and pressure over hundreds of millions of years has transformed those deposits into hard stone.

Serpentines are rich in iron, so when the stone weathers it turns a rust color.

‘Springstone’ is the type of Zimbabwean serpentine that the sculptors use most frequently.

The best-known springstone mines are in the Mvurwi area of northern Zimbabwe.

The Serpentine is deep and rich in color very dense and so perfectly detailed with great patina.

I cannot say enough about how nicely detailed this vintage carving is.

My husband and I are Serpentine addicts.

We have collected so many gorgeous Serpentine pieces, many more to be listed soon.
