Serpentine is a major rock forming mineral and is found as a constituent in many metamorphic and weather igneous rocks; most rocks that have a green color probably contain some amount of serpentine.
Because it can resemble jade so closely, sepentine is difficult to distinguish even for experts. Generally softer than jade, a variety called bowenite has a hardness of up to 6, along with other characteristics which make it very close to nephrite jade. Because of the resemblance, serpentine is used to simulate jade carvings and other ornamental objects, although it is often beautiful enough to stand on its own merits.

The gemstone beads and pendants we use are all natural. People who love natural stone jewelry accept and relish the fact that natural stone is not a sterile gem quality, but shows the variations and adverse climatic conditions under which it was created. In any natural stone there will be imperfections if viewed from a gemstone mindset. Natural stone is beautiful and unique because of its often rough or scarred appearance.
