Soft-green Afghan Jade hand-carved Leaping Dolphin 395.5g

This graceful leaping dolphin was created by Lawrence Handicrafts exclusively for Rocks and Things. It has been carefully shaped out of the translucent Afghan Jade found in Pakistan.  Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine (Bowenite) named after the neighbouring country where it is also found. It is translucent to opaque, varying in colour from white, light to dark green and can also occur with yellow, black or pink. Serpentine 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. This stone is all about Kundalini awakening. Serpentine means ‘stone snake’. 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.
