Description

  • Kisii Snake Box from South Western Kenya - Africa
  • Approximate dimensions: 16cm x 14cm x 12cm
  • Kisii in south western Kenya is where most of the world's soapstone originates. 
  • Kisii stone is a specific type of soapstone that can range from 300 to 400 million years old
  • The soapstone is mined by hand ‚Äì no machinery is used. The mining of these rocks is carried out using crude tools and is very labour intensive
  • Interestingly, the local workers retain all of the fill, so when they have extracted the soapstone, they refill the pit
  • After 5-10 years the soapstone begins to re-form, and so new soapstone becomes available
