Its mottled golden-green color resembles a snakeskin, giving it its name and meaning, which is linked with the powerful regenerative energy of this prehistoric reptile, a transformation of rebirth that's reflected in the snake shedding its skin. The ancients were also big fans of the snake and its legendary symbolism. Hermes, the father of alchemy, used the symbol of two intertwining snakes around a sword to represent healing.
Large deposits of serpentine can be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia.
This is the perfect gift for yourself or someone special!
