Serpentine stone is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of magnesium silicate minerals. It is often green in color, resembling the skin of a serpent, which is how it got its name. This stone is commonly used in sculptures, countertops, and decorative items due to its attractive appearance and softness, making it easy to carve. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, serpentine is believed to have various metaphysical properties. Some people associate it with healing and protection, claiming it can help with emotional balance and spiritual growth. However, these beliefs are not scientifically proven and vary among different cultures and practices.
