These one-of-a-kind figurines is a fusion of Zimbabwean sapolite stone and metal. Each carving has a metal fixture for stand alone display. An incredible home decor or gift idea!
Sapolite also called White Opal but must not be confused with the white opal gemstone. Sapolite is a very hard and not very common used by the sculptors. There is only one mine in Zimbabwe where the stone is found. Perhaps the biggest difference between Sapolite and the other stones the sculptors are working with is the fact that sapolite seldom gets the layer of wax that makes all sculptures shine. If sapolite does get a layer of wax, the white colour changes to cream brown with tints of pink.
Measures approx. 8" x 3"
