Serpentine is a common green semiprecious stone found everywhere. This variety is named for its webbing and is found in China.
Serpentine was formed when water from magmas metamorphosed previous igneous or sedimentary rocks. Serpentine is a magnesium silicate mineral.
Serpentine ranges in color from pale yellow to forest green and is found in dense granular or fibrous masses. Serpentine cabochons have a hardness of about 3, but usually take a high polish.
Serpentine is said to owe its name either to its serpent-like colors and patterns or from an old belief that the stones were effective protection from snake bites.
