Serpentinite, known for its occasional porous nature, absorbs natural oils from your skin, which may deepen its colour over time. This unique transformation is not a flaw, but rather a beautiful testament to the stone's natural evolution, creating a deeper connection between the stone and its wearer.

About Serpentinite:

A rich and varied stone, serpentinite is one of three pounamu stones used in traditional carving, and one of the most recognizable. A metamorphic stone formed from antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile, this wide mix of minerals produce a stone of immense complexity, and individual pieces can contain colours ranging from deep moss green to aquatic blue, with gold, orange, and brown highlights.

Healing Properties:

A healing stone, serpentinite replenishes and restores energies within the body and creates a protective field around its wearer.
