There is something quietly grounding about a serpentine in its raw, uncut form, ready to be held and lived with. The raw piece keeps the stone's natural edges, fracture surfaces and original look — just as it formed in nature.
About serpentine
Serpentine is a group of green, often veined or mottled silicate minerals named for their snakeskin-like patterning. It has a waxy lustre and a Mohs hardness of about 3–5, making it a softer stone. It typically measures kb. 3–8 cm.
Serpentine in tradition
Tradition knows it as a stone of renewal and a calm heart; many associate it with balancing energies. These meanings belong to crystal lore rather than medical fact — the stone's beauty and presence are a value in themselves.
Living with it
Its green, nature-near tone makes a pleasant accent in a collection; being softer, it is best kept from knocks. It also makes a good companion for meditation or quiet moments, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural beauty of minerals.
Good to know
As a natural mineral, every piece is unique: colour, size, shape and pattern may differ a little from the photo — which is exactly what makes the stone you receive one of a kind. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat sources and harsh chemicals; keep the softer stones from lasting moisture as well.
