The stone is called serpentine because of its color and markings resembling the skin of snakes. Highly valued marbles such as Connemara are mixtures of Serpentine and marble. It is found in the regions of New Zealand, China, South Africa, Italy, England and USA.

Serpentine is a powerful healing stone that aids the clearing of blocked areas, bringing the chakras back in balance, and is particularly beneficial for the heart charka. The stone is said to promote good luck and can help people reach their business and personal dreams and desires. Serpentine can be helpful in the rise of Kundalini. It stimulates the pathway that Kundalini will travel and can lessen the discomfort which is sometimes associated with Kundalini rising.
