Euwitt prefers to work from the hard Springstone,Lapidolite,Leopard Rock,Opal and Nyanga serpentine found in the area where he was raised.He believes that his inspiration is derived from the Nyanga mountains and it is in these Spiritual rocks that provide him with the vision,so he often spends time working in the mountains.
