to a single location in the Musina (Messina)
area below the
great Limpopo
River, the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa.
How this special
stone got
its name "Dragon
Stone".
The
locals in
the area call this colourful stone "Dragon Stone"
after a blue
headed lizard that looks like a miniature dragon called "Blou
Kopps" (Blue Headed Lizards).
This is because these cold blooded creatures like to lie and warm
themselves on warm rocks during cold early mornings. The rich green and
dark maroon red colours of this stone absorbs the early mornings suns
rays, making it a favourite amongst the lizard population to sun
themselves on.
The rocks dappled colours of green and red also help to camouflage the
lizards from
preying hawks and eagles that hunt these lizards.
Dragon Stone make interesting center pieces as dragon stone egg
or
spheres, for any location, be it
your office desk, lounge or dinning table, mantle piece or display
case. They bring a warmth to any room.
