Comes with a printed crystal card.
This is an A-grade Serpentine crystal mushroom, hand-carved in Zimbabwe from Mashonaland Central serpentine. The Great Dyke crosses that province, the source of Zimbabwe's stone-carving tradition. It stands 5.80 inches tall, 4.33 across, 2.91 pounds, Mohs 3 to 5, natural and untreated. It is the heaviest and widest-capped of this group, and came from an existing collection, not new extraction.
A one-of-a-kind piece sells once, so it rarely has reviews of its own. These are verified reviews of other Beyond Bohemian orders, not of this piece.
Serpentine takes its name from the snakeskin look of its mottled green surface. It is not one mineral but a group of magnesium silicates that form when water works through olivine-rich rock deep in the crust, a process called serpentinization.
This piece comes from Mashonaland Central, the province in northern Zimbabwe where the Great Dyke runs and where the country's internationally known stone-carving tradition is centered. Carvers work the stone by hand because it is soft enough to shape without power tools and hard enough to hold a polish.
This mushroom reached us through an existing collection rather than new extraction, so no fresh quarrying sat behind it.
Serpentine is worked with around transformation and shedding what no longer fits, an association that comes straight from the snakeskin imagery in its name. It is traditionally linked to the heart chakra.
If that resonates, a carved piece like this tends to live somewhere you pass daily rather than being carried, which suits a soft stone anyway.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Serpentine sits at 3 to 5 on the Mohs scale, among the softest stones we carry, so handle it gently and do not let it soak or sit in water. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

How We GradePurchased through a known network of individual artisans or family mining teams. Each piece traces back to a named producer or workshop. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.

Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the product page. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
