Verdite is a term used for a green metamorphic stone that mainly consists of fuchsite, a chromium-enriched form of muscovite mica. This mineral composition imparts a unique green hue that can vary from light to dark. Verdite is predominantly sourced from several areas, with South Africa being the most renowned. Its relatively soft nature makes it ideal for carving, leading to its frequent use in creating ornamental items such as sculptures, carvings, and various decorative pieces.
