'NATURAL WOMAN'
SIZE:- MEDIUM
This beautiful sculpture is hand-carved from a single piece of semi-precious VERDITE by 3rd Generation SHONA artist, RUFARO MURENZA.
Sometimes mistaken for jade, verdite is a beautiful green gemstone that was originally found in North Kaap River, South Africa. Native South Africans saw value in the softness of the stone and were able to carve the stone for use in ornamental creations and amulets. Today, verdite is still valued for its ability to be carved and used in inlay.
Founders of verdite in Zimbabwe believed the stone had an innate ability to promote fertility. Verdite also was used to amplify fidelity, making the stone ideal for lovers. According to metaphysical beliefs, verdite can increase individual power, without allowing harsh characteristics to overwhelm. For instance, it was believed verdite could boost strength, reliability and honesty. Verdite is associated with multiple chakras, most notably the solar plexus, heart, sacral and root. Some people use verdite to fight vertigo, while others believe the stone can help improve the respiratory and circulatory systems.
The outside edges and back have been left as raw stone to great effect.
