{"product_id":"worry-stones-serpentine-infinite-dz-1-5-1-75","title":"Infinite Serpentine Worry Stone - 1.5 inch","description":"\u003cp\u003eInfinite Serpentine Worry Stone cut to a compact oval with a thumb hollow across one face. The colour is a muted grey-green shading to olive, mottled and banded through with darker and paler zones, and some pieces carry a faint silvery sheen across the surface where the light catches. The lustre is waxy rather than glassy and the stone is noticeably soft to the touch compared with a quartz-family piece of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSerpentine is traditionally associated with change and with clearing the way through it, more often chosen for encouragement through a transition than for comfort during one. It is commonly held in meditation, kept on a workspace, or given at a genuine turning point rather than as a general gift. Infinite is the trade name applied to this softer grey-green material specifically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPrimary Focus: Transformation \u0026amp; Growth\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003e\nChakra Association: Heart, Root\u003cbr\u003e\nZodiac Sign: Scorpio, Gemini\u003cbr\u003e\nChinese Zodiac: Snake, Horse\u003cbr\u003e\nRuling Planet: Saturn\u003cbr\u003e\nElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003e\nMohs Hardness: 3-5\u003cbr\u003e\nStone Family: Phyllosilicate\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Serpentine\u003cbr\u003e\nForm: Worry Stone\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Size: 35-40 mm (1.4-1.6 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nApproximate Weight: 10-14 g\u003cbr\u003e\nListing: Single unit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nInfinite is a traditional trade name for a variety of Serpentine. Although some serpentine deposits in nature may be associated with asbestos-forming minerals, polished Infinite is widely used as an ornamental stone. Serpentine is not a single mineral but a group of related magnesium silicate hydroxide minerals, Mohs 3 to 5, crystallising in the monoclinic system, and the name refers to the stone's resemblance to snakeskin. Its green ranges from pale yellow-green to deep forest green and is frequently mottled, as here. The material is widely used as a jade substitute and is sometimes sold as jade, which it is not; Bowenite is the translucent gem variety of the group. Serpentine was worked in ancient China, Egypt and across Mesoamerica as a green stone, though Maori pounamu is nephrite rather than serpentine despite both being green. Commercial sources include New Zealand, Italy, South Africa, the USA, Afghanistan and China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
