The 25 cent stamp is a simplified reproduction of the geological map of Rhodesia. The distribution of the granitic rocks that are exposed over approximately half of the country is shown, the granites being depicted in red and the related rocks in orange. The major gold belts are shown in green and the black line running from north to south across the centre of the country represents the geologically famous Great Dyke. Younger rock formations are shown in blue.
