AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This fabulous natural serpentine egg was dug from a single block of ore from the mines of Peru.
It is a wonderful example of the beauty and variety of colors that characterize this mineral.
Also known as "New Jade", serpentine belongs to the group of metamorphic minerals that form through the transformation of olivine.
This block of serpentine formed through a geological process that took millions of years, during which the stone transformed and took on its characteristic texture.
Its beauty and geological history make it a perfect choice for those seeking a natural stone with a unique and extraordinary charm.
