Apologies for the poor light in this photograph. The stone is a deep bottle-green with swirls of purple.

Cobalt stone is the local Zimbabwean name given to this purple and green type of serpentine. It does not, as far as we know, contain any cobalt but it may originally have been found near a cobalt mine. Nowadays, it is mined near Chiweshe, in northern Zimbabwe.
