{"product_id":"serpentine-green-opal-freeform-xl-madagascar","title":"Serpentine (Green Opal) Freeform | 22x18cm | Madagascar","description":"\u003cp\u003eA substantial and beautifully polished \u003cstrong\u003eSerpentine freeform\u003c\/strong\u003e from Madagascar — sold locally under the trade name Green Opal — with a colour that is immediately arresting: a vivid, almost luminous lime-green with a fine granular texture that gives the surface a soft, organic quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dominant face is a clean, bright yellow-green, while the reverse reveals a large warm amber-orange inclusion — a natural iron oxide staining within the serpentine matrix — that contrasts beautifully against the green. Broad and rounded, self-standing on a flat base, with a high mirror polish across all faces. At 3.72kg it has real weight and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSerpentine is not a single mineral but a group of magnesium silicate minerals — most commonly antigorite, lizardite, and chrysotile — formed through the metamorphic alteration of olivine and pyroxene in ultramafic rocks. The vivid lime-green is characteristic of high-magnesium serpentine, while the amber-orange patches are caused by iron oxide inclusions. Note: ‘Green Opal’ is a trade name used in Madagascar; this piece is mineralogically serpentine, not true opal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stone of transformation, renewal, and deep Earth connection, Serpentine is associated with the Heart chakra and used to clear and activate the full chakra column, support kundalini energy flow, and encourage a grounded connection with the natural world. A calming companion for those navigating change. Associated with Scorpio and Capricorn, and aligned with Grounding, Love \u0026amp; Self-Love, and Abundance \u0026amp; Prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 22 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 18 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 9.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,720g (3.72kg)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madagascar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-standing\u003c\/strong\u003e — no display stand required.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater cleanse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brief rinse is fine; avoid prolonged soaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne piece, sold as seen.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tali \u0026 Loz Crystals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50979510878455,"sku":"7654 123 914","price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0398\/3491\/0874\/files\/serpentine-green-opal-freeform-xl-madagascar-freeform-tali-loz-crystals-1251295811.jpg?v=1785243252","url":"https:\/\/www.taliandloz.com\/en-gg\/products\/serpentine-green-opal-freeform-xl-madagascar","provider":"Tali \u0026 Loz Crystals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
