About the Stone:
Serpentine is a beautiful and diverse group of minerals, often displaying shades of green, from light apple green to deep forest hues, and sometimes with interesting patterns or inclusions. The stone in this pendant showcases the classic, earthy green that makes serpentine so appealing.
Geologically, serpentine is formed through a process called serpentinization, where ultramafic rocks are transformed by hydrothermal alteration. It's found in various locations worldwide, often in mountainous regions. Notable sources include the United States (particularly California), Canada, the UK, and New Zealand. Some varieties of serpentine are even used as ornamental stones in architecture due to their attractive appearance and durability.
