LyBensons Gallery specializes in one of a kind Zimbabwe Shona Verdite Stone Sculptures. The gallery carries the largest collection of Zimbabwe Shona Verdite Stone Sculptures in a retail setting in North America. Verdite stones are often called The Green Stone of Africa or Africa’s Green Gold – they are a thing of beauty and a genuine investment.
Shona sculpture is perhaps the most important new art form to emerge from Africa in this century.
Newsweek
