It is believed to help regulate cellular regeneration and replenish energy. It has been traditionally used for Kundalini activation and clearing blocked energy centres.

History and Uses

Serpentine, also known as New Jade, derives its name from the Latin word serpentis meaning snake referring to the resemblance these green stones have to snakeskin. This stone was used by the Romans to protect them from sorcery and was believed to protect against parasites, snakebites, venom and poison.
