This beautiful piece of serpentine stone has layers of deep purple, pale green, yellow and reddish 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.
