Geological Information

Serpentine is a hydrous magnesium silicate mineral with a unique fibrous structure. This structure gives Serpentine its characteristic toughness and makes it resistant to stress and weathering. Serpentine contains a high percentage of magnesium and other minerals, including iron, aluminum. Antigorite, Lizardite, and Chrysotile are all closely related to it. This crystal forms in the metamorphic process of rocks with high magnesium and low silica content, such as ultramafic rocks. Serpentine is typically green in color and has a waxy or greasy luster. Some varieties contain spots of magnetite.
