Peru Serpentine Tumbled Stone - 25-35 mm

These Serpentine Tumbled Stones from Peru show a mottled green colour, ranging from pale yellow-green to deeper forest tones, polished into smooth rounded pieces with a soft, slightly waxy sheen. The colour often varies across a single stone, with lighter and darker patches that give the surface a natural, organic look. The generous palm size sits comfortably in the hand and works well in a bowl or on a shelf.

Serpentine is traditionally associated with renewal, transformation and a grounded connection to natural cycles, and is commonly chosen by people working through change or wanting a calm, earthy stone. Many hold a piece in meditation, keep one in a quiet space, or carry it as a steadying reminder. It is often given to someone starting fresh or seeking a sense of natural balance.

Each Serpentine stone is natural, so the mix of light and dark green and the surface mottling will be its own in the piece you receive.

Geological Information
Serpentine is not a single mineral but a group of related magnesium silicate hydroxide minerals, with a soft Mohs hardness of about 3 to 5, and its green colour ranges from pale yellow-green to deep forest green, often mottled. It is named for its resemblance to snakeskin and is frequently used as a jade substitute, so it should never be misrepresented or sold as jade. Because some serpentine sources contain chrysotile, a fibrous form of asbestos, only confirmed non-fibrous material should be retailed; this material is offered as confirmed non-fibrous. The translucent gem variety is known as Bowenite. Serpentine has a long history of use as a green stone in ancient China, Egypt and Mesoamerica. This material is sourced from Peru, with serpentine more broadly found in New Zealand, Italy, South Africa, China and the USA.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Serpentine is soft (Mohs 3 to 5) and scratches easily. Store it apart from harder stones and handle it gently to protect the polished surface.
