Healing with Crystals: Serpentine

From A to Z Gemstones, for About.com

Spiritual and Healing Properties of Serpentine:

Kundalini Rising

It (Serpentine) can be helpful in the rise of Kundalini. It stimulates the pathway that Kundalini will travel and can lessen the discomfort which is sometimes associated with Kundalini rising. If placed at the crown chakra it acts as a drawing force to get the Kundalini started up the channel. It stimulates the crown and can clear all other chakras when clouded. Good to use for enhancing meditation. This stone has been found in the breastplate of the high priestess.

The energy of serpentine can help with disorders in all areas of the body, the emotional and mental systems. It can be used with diabetes, hypoglycemia. Jasper is a very nurturing stone. It also protects against negativity and helps to ground with earth energy.

Enhances Meditative States

The Serpentine is formed when olivine, or peridot, breaks down and forms in metamorphosed basalts. The white lines that you describe are asbestos. Under no circumstances should you ever use this stone or stones in any form of elixir. It also can be found with iron or nickel. Sometimes it will have a glossy or waxy look to it, and some are pourous, depending on where in the earth's crust it formed, and to what temperature that it was formed... It is also good for enhancing the meditative state. Serpentine can give assistance to the disorders in all the areas of the body, meaning the emotional state, the mental state, as well as the physical state. It can be used to help clear the other chakras as well, but the green is mainly used for the heart chakra.
