Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine named after a main country where it is mined. It is translucent to opaque, varying in colour from white, light to dark green and can also occur with yellow, black or pink.

Serpentine means ‘snake stone’. It is the name given to a group of magnesium based asbestos and silicate minerals found in the larger Serpentinite family of minerals. It is formed through plate tectonics and is found on every continent. Serpentine provides powerful healing energy and is linked to our Kundalini energy. When dormant, Kundalini energy lies coiled at the base of the spine. Its release is transformative.
