Serpentine is a group of minerals primarily composed of magnesium silicate, often found in green, yellow, or brown hues. It is typically formed by the alteration of olivine or pyroxenes in ultramafic rocks such as peridotite and serpentinite. The mineral is often associated with metamorphic processes, especially in areas with high pressure and low-temperature conditions.

Serpentine has a smooth, waxy texture and can appear as fibrous, massive, or platy. The name "serpentine" is derived from the mineral's resemblance to the scales of a serpent, due to its green coloration. It is often used as a decorative stone, in jewelry, and for ornamental purposes.

There are several varieties of serpentine, with antigorite being the most common. The mineral can also be translucent or opaque, and its properties make it important in various industrial applications, including as a source of asbestos in its fibrous form. However, serpentine is mainly appreciated for its aesthetic qualities when used in art, sculpture, and architecture.
