Serpentine

About Serpentine

Serpentine is a magnesium silicate mineral — its name from the snake-like patterns on polished specimens. Its colour ranges from olive to emerald, and its ancient reputation is as the kundalini crystal: the quiet awakener of the body's inner fire.

Used in Indian kundalini yoga traditions and in Taoist inner alchemy. The soft varieties were carved into Chinese ritual objects for thousands of years.

Healing Properties

Awakens the kundalini gently. Clears blocked channels in the body and restores the subtle flow of prana.

Chakra & Element

Serpentine works primarily with the Heart · Root chakra and the Earth element. This is why it tends to appear in healing work around heart-related concerns — the frequency of the crystal resonates with this energy centre.

How to use

• Place on the base of the spine during pranayama
• Hold during hatha or kundalini practice
• Carry when integrating a deep spiritual experience
• Keep on the altar beside Shiva imagery or a lingam

How to Identify a Real Serpentine

Common fakes: Dyed glass, plastic, or less valuable stones passed off as the real thing.

How to tell the real thing: Real crystals are heavier than glass or plastic of the same size, stay cool to the touch, and usually show natural inclusions or colour zoning — too-uniform colour is a warning sign. Buy from trusted sources and ask the seller about origin and treatment.
