Verdite
Verdite
is a fairly soft South African stone found in the Barberton area. It is often
seen in African curio shops carved into animals. Its golden flecks distinguish
it from buddstone which is a much harder metamorphosed chert. Even more
distinctive is the “leopard rock” which is spotted serpentinite, also from that
area. JW
