PRODUCT INFORMATION

General Description

Leopard Stone, a distinct serpentine gem, is sourced from a handful of small mines nestled in Nyanga, eastern Zimbabwe. Its name is inspired by the striking black spots that adorn a pale background, creating a captivating visual effect. This remarkable stone is celebrated for its combination of varying green intensities, accentuated by contrasting black patterns, particularly the eye-catching spots. The harmonious blend of colours and distinctive patterns makes Leopard Stone exceptionally attractive and a true geological wonder. Despite its age, this material has a rich history, often used in traditional Shona art carvings. However, the art of polishing it in a classical sense had waned over the years, rendering it a "new" material once again. The meticulous polishing process is skilfully performed by expert Zimbabwean lapidaries, resulting in brand new items that are a perfect fit for any retail space seeking something truly unique and different. Embrace the beauty of Leopard Stone, a gem that has returned to the market, and explore its captivating allure. The items presented are an exciting addition to the world of gemstone treasures, ready to adorn your collection or retail space with their unique charm. Price is grade dependant. Items are as shown.
