Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine (Bowenite) named after one of the main countries where it is found. Afghan Jade is generally translucent to opaque, varying in colour from white, light to dark green and can also occur with yellow, black or pink. This striking stone shows many of these wonderful tones, In Pakistan, this stone is often referred to as onyx, especially the whiter and more translucent varieties. Afghan Jade is the stone for Kundalini awakening.
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.
