1. History

Serpentine takes its name from the Latin serpens, meaning snake, because its mottled green pattern resembles snake skin; it has been carved and used for objects since ancient times, and in modern times its smooth, workable appearance has led to its use, sometimes under the name "new jade", in ornaments and jewellery. As a widespread magnesium phyllosilicate mineral, serpentine has a long working tradition in many cultures, and its affordability is one reason for its enduring popularity.

2. Origin

Serpentine is found in many regions, including China, Afghanistan, Italy, Russia, the United States and New Zealand. This item is a tumbled stone; the product page lists the material as Serpentine, the product type as Tumbled Stone and the quantity as a set of 40-50 stones, showing olive to forest green shades often accented by subtle darker veining that creates visual depth, with each stone carefully polished to reveal its characteristic silky texture and rich colour variations.

4. Benefits & Suitable For

In common crystal usage, serpentine is regarded as a grounding and cleansing stone, often linked with the heart chakra, and is said to soothe tension, bring a sense of calm and renewal and help people reconnect with natural rhythms; it is therefore suited to those who are easily tense, who work in high-pressure environments, or who want to improve sleep and quiet reflection. It is also often recommended to lovers of green-toned crystals and to those seeking gentle, healing-feeling stones; for shops and wholesalers its friendly price and appealing green tones give it broad appeal as a staple.
