Very Rare First Quality Serpentine & Pyrite Sphere, From Peru- 2225.07 g

Dreamlike Serpentine gemstone sphere from Peru. It is a solid aggregate of serpentine crystals with shading from green to yellow, sprinkled in some areas with small golden pyrite crystals. The name Serpentin refers to a group of predominantly green minerals that occur in masses of small, intergrown crystals. Its green color and scaly appearance underpin the name, derived from the Latin "serpentinous," meaning serpent rock. Legend says the Romans used this stone as protection against enchantment and dark arts. In ancient civilizations, serpentine was used as a talisman. It was supposed to protect against demonic forces and foster fertility. In China and India it is frequently incorporated into altars, carvings, and temple decorations, as it is regarded as a protective stone that brings peace.
