Glass Window Serpentinite Breastplate - Statement on Honey

It's a gorgeous mineral extravaganza.

This New Zealand Serpentinite hails from South Westland and was collected by us a few years ago on a mum-and-daughter stone hunting trip down in Haast.

She has beautiful deep green windows hidden among an intricate weave of blues, greens and whites.

Our Breastplate style signifies the protection of its wearer.

Sometimes porous, serpentinite can absorb oils from your skin and its colour may deepen over time - this should not be seen as a flaw but as part of the stone’s natural evolution with its wearer. ( it will darken parts this stone over time)

Findings/Features:

• - Hand-braided wax polyester extendable cord

• Size:  10 x 5.5cm

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.
