Geological Background: Serpentine (Often Known as Serpentine Jade)
Serpentine—sometimes informally referred to as “serpentine jade” for its jade-like colour and texture—is a group of magnesium-rich silicate minerals formed through the metamorphic alteration of ultramafic rocks. This process is known as serpentinisation, occurring deep within the Earth’s crust when water interacts with iron- and magnesium-rich rocks such as peridotite.
Key geological features of serpentine include:
- Mineral class: Magnesium silicate
- Chemical composition: (Mg,Fe)₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄
- Formation: Alteration of mantle-derived rocks under heat and pressure
- Colour: Shades of green from pale apple to deep forest, often with veining or mottling
- Texture: Smooth, waxy or silky, ideal for polishing
- Hardness: Mohs 3–5
Because of its attractive colour and carvability, serpentine has been used throughout history for ornamental pieces, beads, and sculptures. Although not technically jade, its jade-like appearance has made it a popular gemstone for jewellery and decorative art.
