Apologies for the poor light in this photograph. This glorious piece of stone has layered swirls of deep purple and bottle green, with splashes of aquamarine and pale yellow.

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.
