:snake: Serpentine is the name given to a subgroup of magnesium, aspestos, and silicate minerals formed in Serpentinite rock.

:snake: The name was given to this group of minerals in 1564 by Georgius Agricola after the Latin word β€œSerpens” for it’s similarity of a snake or serpent.

:snake: Serpentine can be found in just about every continent with an abundance specifically located in South Africa, Australia, Germany, France, Peru, Madagascar and the US.

:snake: This stone helps access our Kundalini energy, which is an ancient Tantra teaching that involves a vibration at the base of our spine. While dormant, this energy is believed to be coiled up, much like a serpent. This inner power is accessed through realms such as deep meditation, the use of serpentine crystals and yoga. Once released, an effect known as a Kundalini awakening takes place. You’ll notice signs of being more in tune with yourself and your inner intuition comes to life.

:warning: Serpentine does contain asbestos!! This stone is toxic!! Be careful handling the rough version of this stone. Wash your hands afterwards. Please no contact with skin, as in jewelry. :warning:

I however have a rough piece, but it stays in a box all by it’s lonesome, and here it is:

I never knew it was toxic! That makes me curious about the authenticity of it at some of my local shops.

The polished or tumbled pieces are better than the rough/natural forms. I’d still be cautious but the polished stones are less fibrous and I personally don’t think you’d have to wash your hands afterwards. But definitely with the rough pieces. I hope this makes sense bc I’m just waking up and working on a half cup of coffee :joy:
