Serpentine
|
|
Serpentine is a translucent, waxy silicate of magnesium that is often confused with jade because it is usually some shade of green. It historically was thought to protect the wearer from snake bites. Metaphysically, serpentine is said to restore self-confidence, dispel fear and enhance meditation. It also is believed to balance female hormones and increase milk production in nursing mothers. Serpentine is found in the British Isles, China, South Africa and the U.S.A..
