Serpentine — Meaning, Properties & How to Use It

What is Serpentine?

Serpentine is a green mineral group, its colours ranging from pale to deep olive and often mottled like snakeskin — the source of its name. Smooth and waxy, it is found worldwide and has been carved for ornament for centuries. Some forms are known as 'new jade'.

Metaphysical Properties

Serpentine is a stone of awakening and renewal, traditionally linked to the rising of kundalini energy along the spine. It clears blocked energy pathways, supporting the smooth flow of life force through the body. It aids meditation and spiritual exploration, opening access to deeper wisdom. Grounding and healing, it fosters a strong connection to the earth and nature. It encourages transformation, renewal and the shedding of old patterns, like a snake shedding its skin.

Hold serpentine during meditation to support energy flow and spiritual awakening. Place it along the body to clear and align energy pathways. Keep it close during periods of renewal and change. Take it into nature to deepen your earth connection.
