Serpentine
Serpentine is a wonderful addition to your crystal collection. This stone helps to heal any mental, emotional or physical ailments we are suffering from. It likes to form a unique connection or bond with us individually to tailor its energy to our specific needs. Serpentine helps cleanse and release any dense, blocked or clouded Chakra to ensure we can access our highest state of being. Serpentine is also a stone of abundance and manifestation. It aligns our intentions to our Heart Chakra and works to assist us in manifesting abundance on all levels, including prosperity, love, spirituality, etc. Recently, industry leaders began calling it New Jade, however, its original name was chosen because of its resemblance to the scales of a serpent. The energy in Serpentine works with our own Kundalini energy. Kundalini translates to "coiling like a snake" in Sanskrit. It refers to the energy that lies in the base of our spine at our Root Chakra. When our Kundalini energy is allowed to flow freely up through our Chakras until it extends beyond the Crown Chakra it leads to an expanded state of consciousness that we refer to as our awakening. Serpentine is the stone to use when attempting to awaken your own Kundalini energy and put you on the path towards enlightenment.
