Lemon Serpentine Heart

Lemon Serpentine is found in many countries throughout the world, including Canada. Serpentine is a silicate mineral that is composed of tiny sheets of silica tetrahedrons that are loosely held together. Serpentine is a translucent to opaque gemstone that is usually found in various shades of yellow to light green with striations of white or grey colours. There are different varieties of Serpentine, including, Infinite Serpentine, Stripped (Chrysolite) Serpentine and Lizardite. Another form of Serpentine is known as Atlantisite, it is yellow green to green with purple Stichtite inclusions that is found in Australia and Russia. Serpentine’s weak bonds give it a greasy or slippery feel of a snake skin (serpent) and when warmed in the hand, Lemon Serpentine smell of Lemons. 

Scientist don’t fully understand how Lemon Serpentine, which forms deep in the Earth’s crust, makes its way to the surface. But, Serpentine is buoyant and can makes its way to the top by floating in water and it may get dragged through the crevices. Serpentine is often mistaken for Jade, due to it’s different shades of light to dark green and its texture.
