Quick facts Stone Serpentine Composition Hydrous magnesium iron phyllosilicate Hardness (Mohs) 2.5–4 (moderately soft) Color Olive to apple green with natural veining Origin Not specified Chakra Heart Traditionally used for Earth connection, energy clearing, and renewal Care / Water-safe Minimal water only — dry quickly, avoid harsh chemicals Meaning & history Serpentine is associated in crystal tradition with earth connection, gentle clearing, and renewal, and is often linked to the heart chakra. Many people like to keep a heart-shaped stone close as a small, comforting reminder of that intention — see more stones for balance and wellness. The name serpentine comes from its sometimes scale-like surface pattern, which many find visually reminiscent of a serpent's skin. How to use it Hold it during a quiet moment of reflection, place it on a nightstand or altar, or add it to a growing collection of hearts from our crystal hearts. Because each heart is cut from natural stone, color, pattern, and markings vary from piece to piece — the one you receive will be uniquely its own. Care & cleansing This is a moderately soft stone (Mohs 2.5–4): keep water exposure brief and dry it right away, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and handle gently to prevent chips or scratches.

It's a natural serpentine stone carved into a smooth, polished heart about 35mm across, in earthy olive-to-apple green with natural veining. This is a decorative/symbolic piece, not a health product or medical device. Is serpentine water-safe? Serpentine can tolerate a brief rinse, but as a moderately soft stone it's best to keep water exposure minimal and dry it right away — skip long soaks and harsh chemicals. Is it durable enough for daily handling? It's better suited to gentle handling and display than rough daily wear — serpentine is a softer stone, so avoid hard knocks or drops. How do I cleanse and charge it? A light dusting, a pass through incense smoke, or resting it near (not on) a selenite or clear quartz cluster overnight are common, gentle methods. How can I tell it's real serpentine? Genuine serpentine has a soft, slightly waxy or greasy luster with natural veining and color variation — no two pieces show the exact same pattern. What pairs well with this heart? It pairs naturally with other stones from our balance and wellness collection or pieces linked to the heart chakra.
