A bird family rests comfortably within their nest, with their heads gazing at the world beyond. This sculpture represents the importance of family bond.

 

The interior and exterior surfaces of the nest are featured in different finishes; the interior is polished to a smooth, glossy finish that highlights the beautiful green hues of the stone. On the other hand, the exterior is left in a more rustic, natural state, allowing the stone's rough edges and natural imperfections to show through.

    Material:

    Green Opal 

     

    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.
