This pendant is made of Californian Serpentine and hand-wrapped in 12 gauge sterling silver wire.
Serpentine, also called "precious serpentine," was named in 1564 by Georgius Agricola, inspired by its snake-like, mottled appearance (from the Latin serpens, meaning serpent). Known by trade names like False Jade and Teton Jade, serpentine is often mistaken for Jade, Onyx Marble, or Verdite due to its veined or spotted patterns. Historically, it has served as a decorative stone, a source of magnesium, and even in architecture. Metaphysically, serpentine is thought to help bring control over one’s life by clearing mental fog, enhancing meditation, and stimulating the crown chakra to promote spiritual insight and psychic abilities.
