Science & Origin of Serpentine

Serpentine is the name given to a subgroup of magnesium, asbestos, and silicate minerals formed in Serpentinite rock. It commonly crystallizes in the forms of masses, fibrous grains, and flat-like plates. The colors can vary from light and dark greens to brown, yellow, white, and grey. Commonly known Serpentine minerals that have been independently verified are Lizardite, Atlantisite, Greenstone, and Infinite. The name was given to this group of minerals in 1564 by Georgius Agricola after the Latin word “serpens” for its similarity to that of a snake or serpent. Serpentine can be found in just about every continent on earth with an abundance specifically located in South Africa, Australia, Austria, Germany, France, Madagascar, Peru and the United Kingdom & NEW ZEALAND STH ISLAND.
