Physical Information
Cradle of Humankind Stone comes from the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site in South Africa, an area known for ancient limestone caves and early hominid fossils. The stone itself is a silicified sedimentary rock, often containing jasper-like patterns, mineral-rich layers, and earthy tones of brown, red, beige, and cream.
It forms through long-term mineral replacement, where silica slowly hardens ancient sediments, creating a dense and durable stone with a unique historical origin.
