Serpentine

Serpentine, also known as the Infinite Stone, was named because it resembles a snake’s skin and was thought to protect against venomous creatures. It is a magnesium iron silicate hydroxide mineral that occurs in dense masses and fibrous form with a hardness of 2 to 4.5. It can vary from a pale yellow-green color to deep forest green and can have spots of magnetite. Serpentine is generally found in Great Britain, Italy, South Africa, Russia, Canada and the United States.

Many of the gothic and renaissance buildings in Italy are adorned with serpentine facades and marble. Some of the cathedrals, monuments and museums in earlier centuries of Italy were designed by artist greats like Michelangelo and Donatello, and were adorned in serpentine. In Ireland, the famous Connemara marble is mixed with Serpentine and found in large deposits throughout Europe.
