This Afghan Jade Fish has been sourced and hand-carved from the local stone found in Pakistan for Rocks and Things. Serpentine is the name given to a group of, magnesium based asbestos and silicate minerals found in the larger Serpentinite family of minerals. Afghan Jade is a form of colourful Serpentine named after the country adjacent to Pakistan where this stone was mined.
Afghan Jade 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 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.
