Verdite is actually a trade name for a specific type of green metamorphic rock.Verdite is a rock made up of multiple minerals, mainly fuchsite and fine grain clay. Fuchsite is a variety of muscovite, which is in turn part of the mica mineral group. The green hues of verdite is because of the traces of chromium present in the stone. (This makes verdite closely related to other gemstones such as lepidolite.) Other minerals that can be in verdite include quartz, diaspore, rutile, albite, talc, chlorite and corundum minerals like sapphire and ruby.
The biggest source for verdite stones is Zimbabwe. Other areas are Eswatini (Swaziland), the Transvaal- and the North Cape river.
Clean it by wiping it with a soft cloth that is completely clean of dust or debris. (A dusty cloth can make scratches.)Dip the cloth in a solution of warm water and mild soap, then rub carefully the stone. Once you have done, rinse away any soap residue and leave the stone to air-dry.
Keep your verdite gemstone away from: extreme heat, harsh chemicals (e.g. cleaning products), steam or ultrasonic cleaners.
