ARTIST: MICHAEL GWARAVAZA
This stunning creation is hand sculpted from a single piece of BROWN VERDITE by 2nd Generation SHONA artist, MICHAEL GWARAVAZA.
Michael is the youngest of seven children, his siblings Tendai, Timothy and Rodrick all accomplished sculptors in their own right.
Born in August 2000, Michael was surrounded by sculpting from an early age, as his father, John Gwaravaza is also a sculptor.
Michael soon developed the skill for himself, being accustomed to seeing sculpting on a daily basis.
He enjoys sculpting abstract work on hard stone.
VERDITE is a semi-precious gem stone, mostly made up of Fuscite and primarily found in Zimbabwe and South Africa.
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.
Beautiful high shine and sensational markings making this a superb impact piece to enhance any home or garden setting.
An utterly unique and original gift.
