Serpentine

Natural serpentine cabochons.

Serpentine is an ancient stone with a presence that feels primordial — as though it remembers the earth before it had a name, and carries that memory quietly within its depths.

Color: From pale sage and olive to deep forest green and warm yellow-green, often mottled or veined with darker tones that shift and pool across its surface like light filtering through a forest canopy — organic, alive, and endlessly varied.

Energy: A stone of transformation and kundalini awakening, serpentine clears and activates the energetic pathways of the body, inviting dormant power to rise with intention and grace. It supports deep meditation, past-life exploration, and the patient, deliberate work of becoming — making it a stone for those who are not afraid of their own depth.

✦ Serpentine takes its name from the Latin serpentinus — of the serpent — both for its scaled, reptilian surface patterns and for its ancient association with snake symbolism across cultures. In medieval Europe it was believed to protect against poison; in Mesoamerican traditions it was considered more precious than gold. Geologically, it forms through a process called serpentinisation — the transformation of oceanic crust by water at high pressure — making every piece a record of tectonic forces beyond human scale.

This is a stone for those who understand that transformation is rarely comfortable — and choose it anyway.
