Ndoro, Caleb Samhere, and Tandi Shona Stone is a blanket term used to describe a variety of stones, dug and sculpted, mostly with hand tools, in Zimbabwe. Most of the stone used is from the family known as Serpentine. Varieties include Springstone, Opal Stone, Cobalt Stone, Leopard Rock, and Fruit Serpentine. Less common, harder varieties native to Zimbabwe include Verdite, Lepidolite, and White Marble. We are still learning and did not attempt to attribute the type of stones to individual sculptures. If the exact variety is important, you must verify it for yourself. As we unpacked these treasures, many were wrapped in African newspapers dated back to 2005. Any price stickers in photos were on them prior to acquisition and represent wholesale pricing from 2005 on up. Sculptures were in storage for a couple of years before the current owner acquired them in 2016 and then, it was stored again until now..... AuctionGrooVe Condition Statement for all lots.
