Serpentine Healing Properties

Ethically Sourced Serpentine

When we know better, we do better. Ethical sourcing is a constantly evolving process. If the original sourcing for the stone still passes Moonrise Crystals’ current standards, it will be restocked as soon as possible. If the original sourcing is no longer acceptable, it will be restocked when/if a better supplier can be found.

Know where your crystals come from

This Serpentine comes from a mine in China.  It may be associated with a Jade mine or with an Asbestos mine.

This lapidary hand-polishes stones in Hong Kong, China. It is woman-owned and managed. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. It is also an exporter that sells at gemshows in Hong Kong and the United States.

I first met this source at the 2014 Tucson Gem Show. A language barrier coupled with the quick pace of the gem show, makes it difficult to discuss sensitive or complicated topics. Every year I speak with the owner, often asking questions about the same stones, but getting slightly different answers. The communication problem makes me highly selective about which stones I will buy from her. If the stone is from mainland China, and I can independently determine its likely mining origin, I will buy it since short supply chains are important. If a stone is from another country, I am more cautious.

In 2020, I became friends with a German wholeseller who has personally visited the Hong Kong supplier and was able to provide me with detailed information about working conditions.

Serpentine Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published October 2015  •  Updated December 2022  •  Read Time: 5 minutes
Serpentine is a general name given to a family of 16 closely-related soft green minerals.  Sometimes these minerals are called by their scientific name, like Lizardite, while others have marketing names like Infinite and Healerite.  Sometimes these marketing names help identify a specific deposit, while other times they simply drive sales.  It is easy to carve and polish, in fact it was used to make one of the oldest human figurines over 30,000 years ago! Serpentine is a wonderful stone for meditation and chakra healing.  It can be use to awaken the kundalini serpent, and to explore topics as diverse as cleansing, sex and trauma. […]
