This Afghan Jade hand-carved fish was carefully crafted by our partner in Karachi, Lawrence Handicrafts. Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine (Bowenite) named after the country adjacent to Pakistan where this stone was mined. 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 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.
