About the Item

This beautiful stone sculpture is a true masterpiece of African art from the beautiful country of Zimbabwe. This bust is lovingly hand-carved from stone that is said to have healing properties. It's a beautiful healing stone called verdite, a lovely mix of serpentine and fuchsite. This stone is found almost exclusively in Zimbabwe, where it's mined with care. In the wonderful practice of healing stone medicine, verdite is used to help strengthen a person's inner resilience against external influences. Verdite is here for you, especially during times when you need a little extra support. Whether you're dealing with a special diet or allergies, or just having a rough day, we've got your back. This bust is here to empower you and make you feel your best. I'm so excited for you to experience this unique work of art, a masterpiece in its own right. The POWER OF AFRICA
