Serpentine Gemstones | Zalgro

Serpentine is found in huge forms at all times. It’s generally carved into beads, cabochons, or other utilitarian and ornamental carvings by lapidaries. Some stones are transparent enough to be faceted on rare occasions (especially williamsite). These stones produce beautiful and affordable jewelry.

All serpentine variants have poor hardness, which means they are readily scratched. Even the hardest material, bowenite, which has a hardness of 6, may be damaged by household dust. These jewels, on the other hand, will make excellent stones for earrings, pendants, and brooches. They will require protective settings such as ring stones. Only wear serpentines on special occasions.
