Serpentine is a group of minerals primarily composed of magnesium silicate. It often appears in green or yellow-green hues but can also be found in shades of brown, black, or even white. The mineral is typically translucent to opaque and has a smooth, slippery feel due to its greasy luster. Its name derives from its resemblance to the skin of a serpent.

The structure of serpentine is fibrous or massive and can form in the form of sheets, veins, or even nodules. It is most commonly found in metamorphic rocks, particularly in areas of serpentinization, where ultramafic rocks undergo alteration due to high-pressure conditions.

Serpentine is often associated with other minerals like talc, magnetite, and chlorite. It is used in a variety of applications, including as a decorative stone, and in some cases, it can be processed into asbestos. However, certain types of serpentine are also linked to health concerns due to the asbestos content.

In addition to its geological importance, serpentine is sometimes thought to hold metaphysical properties, with some cultures regarding it as a symbol of healing and protection.
