Serpentine refers to a group of related magnesium silicate minerals. The stone is typically green with mottled or veined patterns and forms through the metamorphic alteration of magnesium-rich igneous rocks like peridotite.

Where does this Serpentine come from?

These hand polished stones are from Peru, which produces Serpentine with characteristically rich green tones and a smooth surface that takes a good polish.

What does AA grade mean for Serpentine?

AA grade indicates consistent green color, a quality hand polish with good surface sheen, and minimal fractures or pale patches that detract from the stone's appearance.

Is this Serpentine treated or enhanced?

No. These stones are not treated or dyed. The green color is natural, coming from the magnesium silicate mineral composition.

What intentions is Serpentine commonly used for?

Serpentine is often associated with personal boundaries, releasing old patterns, and connecting with nature. It is a grounding stone frequently used in meditation.

How do I care for Serpentine hand polished stones?

Serpentine has a Mohs hardness of 3-6 depending on the specific variety and should be handled with care. Avoid acidic cleaners. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth and store away from harder stones.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Serpentine is part of the silicate - inosilicate family.

Sourced directly from Junín, Peru.

Serpentine is a magnesium silicate mineral with green color, named for snake-like patterns.

Serpentine is traditionally a stone for gentle, patient care for yourself, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and a simple anchor during practice. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
