The sunny side of serpentine
Serpentine is a silicate mineral that occurs in nature in many shades from yellow to green. Yellow serpentine is a particularly warm and pleasant colour that recalls summer sunshine. The stones offered here are polished, meaning their surface is smooth and palm-friendly. On a winter morning, the yellow shade gives a friendly glance to your table or shelf.
A pleasant touch
The polished serpentine stones feel velvety and slightly cool to the touch, like most natural stones. You can hold them while reading, chatting, or simply resting — many people find this simple contact comforting. The stone warms in your hand to your body temperature, which gives a special, living feel.
What A quality means
A quality means the stones are carefully selected: nicely coloured, well polished, with no obvious cracks or flaws. Since these are natural minerals, the shade and size vary from piece to piece — every stone is unique, with no two stones exactly the same.
Placement at home
Yellow serpentine stones are often placed in a glass bowl on a table, windowsill or bookshelf. Sunlight passes through them, creating a particularly lovely sight when they glow in the light. They make a thoughtful gift for a stone-loving friend. A small bowlful on a desk also gives a friendly mood on working days.
Care tips
Wipe the stones occasionally with a slightly damp cloth. Do not wash them with strong detergent or chemicals. Prolonged strong sunlight should be avoided as the yellow colour may fade over time. Stored in a dry place, they keep their beauty for a long time. If you build a collection of them, it is worth keeping them in a shaded spot where the colour stays fresh for years.
