Buddstone - Small Tumbled Stones
Buddstone (or budstone) is also called African Jade (or South African Jade).
Despite bei9ng called African Jade it not closely related to other varieties of Jade. The only source of buddstone is in the Barbaton area of South Africa where it is mined.
Buddstone is a Grossulartie Garnet which is a Calcium Aluminium Silicate. While Grossulartie Garnet can also be orange, red, dark yellow and gold, buddstone gets its beautiful green colour from the inclusion of green minerals (fuchsite, epidote or chlorite). It is often confused with verdite as they are both green stones with similar appearance. Buddstone is usually less uniformly green than verdite.
These stones have been fully tumbled to develop a smooth polished finish.
