Description
The stone used to carve this sculpture is called Verdite.
This exquisite green stone is also known as African Jade or Buddstone. Verdite usually exhibits Corundum, Rutile, Diaspore, Tourmaline, and Quartz inclusions. It also has a vitreous, pearly, or silky luster and can be translucent to opaque.
The green hues of Verdite is because of the traces of chromium present in the stone. It is oftentimes a light green to dark green mineral that’s like Serpentine, which dates back to millions of years. Verdite was discovered in South Africa in the North Kaap River, right in the areas where gold could be found.

Presentation
NGONI (ERASMUS) MREWA
BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
Born on June 13, 1958, in the Mrewa District, Zimbabwe, Ngoni (Erasmus) began sculpting at the age of 21, in the steps of his brother, Thomas Mrewa,, a prominent sculptor considered part of the founding sculptors to reestablish the art form in Zimbabwe. Ngoni's education included many workshops to enrich and further his art form over the years.
Ngoni (Erasmus) states, "I get the ideas from my mind and from other things I see in the bush and mountains." His work has been shown prominently throughout the international art community in Cape Town, South Africa; Germany, the United States, and "other parts of the world."
When speaking of his inspiration, Ngoni Mrewa, one of the most prominent sculptors explained, "The sculpture is already hidden in the stone - I just it let out"
