Verdite is a semi-precious stone found in Zimbabwe\Burma which ranges in color from emerald to brown. It’s hardness is greater than the hardness of serpentine, making it a challenging sculpting medium. Verdite is over 3.5 million years old and is highly sought after. It is only found in southern Africa, with the highest quality being found in a deposit in Zimbabwe. It is therefore becoming rare and therefore highly prized.
