Elephant Group, a beautiful hand carved sculpture made from black serpentine.

Handmade by artists from the Chitungwiza Sculpture Community, Shona sculpture is a modern movement of stone carved sculpture created in Zimbabwe. It gets its name from the 'Shona' tribe of people (actually a mixture of many similar tribes with closely related language and culture) who are the largest in Zimbabwe.

Opal Stone - A beautiful light greenish serpentine. Opal stone is a very hard stone finely textured with an almost translucent surface sometimes specked with red, orange and bluish dots and patches. Opal stone is famous for its milky light coloured greens and smooth texture. It is also unique in that it has fewer colour variations than Serpentine. It is also mined at Chiweshe, two hours north of Harare.
