A Mother's Protection

    Artist:

    Tawanda Kapusi

    Material:

    Green Opalstone

     

     

    Green Opal is sourced in the mines north of the Zimbabwean capital of Harare.  After polishing, it becomes a deep beautiful green. It is favored by many Shona artists as it is not as hard as Springstone but it still polishes to a high shine. The first Green Opal mines were not found until 1989.

     

     

    Shona artists, in particular, appreciate the qualities of Green Opal, as it allows them to create sculptures with a smooth and lustrous appearance. The stone's vibrant green color adds depth and character to their artistic creations, enabling them to convey their creative vision with finesse.
