About Serpentine
Serpentine is a group of hydrated magnesium silicate minerals known for their silky luster, waxy feel, and rich green hues that range from pale apple-green to deep forest tones. Formed through the metamorphic alteration of ultramafic rocks such as peridotite, serpentine often exhibits mottled, veined, or fibrous textures that make it highly distinctive and visually appealing. Its chemistry and structure vary across the group, producing varieties like antigorite, lizardite, and chrysotile—each with slightly different appearances and properties. Widely used as a decorative stone throughout human history, serpentine has been carved into tools, ornaments, and jewelry for thousands of years, prized for both its beauty and ease of working.
