Serpentine has a quality that's hard to pin down until you're holding it. The green is deep and varied, moving from forest to sage to near-black depending on the light, with natural veining and inclusions that give each piece its own character. Carved into a wolf head at this scale, roughly 180 to 200mm tall and around 1.5kg, it becomes something genuinely commanding. The wolf form is precise and expressive, the kind of carving that captures both the power and the intelligence of the animal. This is a collector's piece in every sense.

Chakra Connection
Serpentine resonates most strongly with the Root Chakra, the energy center governing safety, stability, and our sense of being grounded in the physical world. It's a stone that anchors scattered energy and helps you feel settled and secure in your body and your environment. Its secondary connection to the Heart Chakra brings a nurturing quality, making it a grounding stone that also carries warmth and a sense of connection to the natural world. The wolf form amplifies the protective, instinctual quality of the stone, making this a particularly powerful piece for anyone drawn to animal totems or working with protective energy.
How to Use

- Combine with Black Tourmaline to create a strong protective field around your home or workspace
- Use alongside Labradorite to balance the grounding quality of Serpentine with intuition and inner magic

Crystal Care
Serpentine rates approximately 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale, making it softer than many display stones and worth handling with care at this size. Avoid dropping or placing heavy objects near it. Cleanse with sound, moonlight, or the smoke of sage or palo santo. Placing it near Selenite is a gentle and effective way to keep it energetically clear without any risk to the carving. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and keep away from water, which can affect the surface over time. Dust with a soft dry cloth and store or display away from harder stones that could scratch the surface.

What Is Serpentine?
Serpentine is a group of magnesium silicate minerals that form in metamorphic rock, typically through the alteration of olivine or pyroxene under heat and pressure. It's found worldwide, with notable deposits in China, New Zealand, Italy, Canada, and the United States. The name comes from the Latin "serpentinus," meaning serpent rock, likely a reference to its mottled green color. On the Mohs scale it rates approximately 3 to 4. In crystal healing practice, Serpentine is associated with grounding, protection, connection to nature, and the clearing of stagnant or negative energy. It's considered a stone of the earth, carrying a steady, anchoring quality that makes it particularly effective for Root Chakra work and protective practices.
