About Serpentine

Serpentine is a collective term for many types of magnesium silicates. Two of its common species are new jade and lizardite. While new jade is often mistaken for true jade, it exhibits a distinct bright green color. Physically similar to jadeite or nephrite, serpentine comes in various tones such as green, brown, yellow, white, and black. Its name originates from the Latin word "serpens" meaning snake.

History and Uses of Serpentine

Throughout history, serpentine has been utilized for mortars and became associated with doctors, chemists, and alchemists. It was also a source of minerals like magnesium and asbestos. Serpentine's usage is notable in countries like India, Afghanistan, and Mongolia. Mongolians believed serpentine offered protection from reptiles, insects, and negative energy. In India, serpentine from Afghanistan was employed for crafting items such as dagger handles and sword hilts.

Metaphysical Properties of Serpentine

Serpentine is a remarkable stone renowned for its diverse metaphysical properties. As a heart chakra stone, it radiates a gentle and nurturing energy, promoting emotional balance, compassion, and self-love. It aids in releasing emotional blockages, healing past wounds, and fostering a deeper connection with others. Serpentine's energy extends beyond the heart chakra, as it has the unique ability to work with all chakras. It cleanses and aligns the entire chakra system, facilitating a harmonious flow of energy and promoting overall well-being. By bringing the chakras into balance, serpentine supports spiritual growth and enhances one's ability to connect with higher realms and intuitive wisdom.

In addition to its chakra-balancing properties, serpentine holds transformative qualities. It is known to activate the kundalini energy, the dormant spiritual force located at the base of the spine. This activation stimulates spiritual awakening, heightens consciousness, and opens the doorway to higher states of awareness. Serpentine is also associated with past-life exploration, as it helps retrieve and integrate wisdom from previous incarnations. Its energy promotes fearlessness, encouraging individuals to embrace the future with optimism and courage. Serpentine's calming and grounding nature provides a sense of stability and inner peace, supporting clarity of thought, positive thinking, and a balanced perspective. It serves as a catalyst for personal growth, empowering individuals to manifest their desires, cultivate abundance, and align with their highest potential.

Zodiac Associations and Talismans

Serpentine complements those born under the Virgo and Capricorn zodiac signs. Aligned with the Earth and Air elements, serpentine talismans are believed to cure headaches, transform lethargy into motivation, and aid in bone healing.
