Hand carved from Green Opal stone by Shona artist in Zimbabwe, Africa.
An abstract bust statue of a female looking to her left. Face and neck areas are highly polished and the rest unpolished, creating a striking contrast.
Green Opal is a type of common Opal that ranges in color from a pale ivory to a dark green. The color of the opal is extremely diverse and can vary from colorless gray to red and yellow. The fact that the Opal has such different colors is due to the fact that the trace elements contained in it differ from each other, such as copper, nickel, silver, cobalt and iron. Since its water content fluctuates, the hardness is not constant. The more water is contained in the stone, the softer it is.
