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

Cobalt stone is the local Zimbabwean name given to this predominantly purple 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.
