SERPENTINE

Serpentine is a group of magnesium-rich silicate minerals commonly found in metamorphic rocks formed from the alteration of ultramafic rocks. It typically appears in shades of green, ranging from pale to deep olive, often with mottled patterns and a waxy to silky lustre. In folklore, Serpentine was believed to offer protection and attract good fortune. Metaphysically, it is said to enhance emotional balance, spiritual awareness, and meditation. The stone is also thought to aid healing, remove negative energy, and encourage personal transformation.
