SERPENTINE is a magnesium silicate mineral with a monoclinic, orthorhombic or hexagonal crystal system and a hardness ranging from 2 to 5.5. Major deposits are in England, South Africa, Brazil and the USA. Serpentine is one of the best stones for rousing the kundalini energies-the "serpent power" said to reside at the base of the spine. Serpentine is also a good stone to place on the meridian points for clearing blocked energies and allowing the healthy, natural flow to be reestablished. It is powerful for working energetically to bring the old reptilian part of the brain into the service of the higher brain. In many people, due to psychic wounds from one's family and culture, the reverse is the case. Carrying, wearing or meditating with Serpentine can help establish the order intended by Nature, bringing peace and joy to the individual and reverberating into the outer world.

Serpentine harmonizes with Seraphinite for the rewiring of unhealthy brain patterns. Herderite, Phenacite, Natrolite, Scolecite and Azeztulite can all help this process by stimulating the higher brain areas. Anandalite and Tibetan Tektite reinforce Serpentine's energies in the kundalini awakening process. Other stones that harmonize with Serpentine are Amethyst, Moon-stone, Libyan Gold Tektite, Golden Labradorite, Zincite, Tiger Eye, Emerald, Green Jade, Purple Jade and Strombolite.
