2.1" Serpentine with Pyrite gemstone sphere with stand from Peru.  This sphere is 55mm in diameter and features a solid cluster of Serpentine crystal with yellow to green hued colors spotted with Pyrite crystals and other dark inclusions.  The name Serpentine refers to a group of predominantly green minerals that occur in masses of small intergrown crystals.  Its green color and scaly appearance is the basis of the name from the Latin serpentinus, meaning serpent rock.  According to legend, Romans used this stone as protection against sorcery and the dark arts.  In ancient civilizations, Serpentine was used as a talisman, it was said to protect against demonic powers as well as promoting fertility.  In China and India it is quite often incorporated into altars, carvings and temple decorations, as it is seen as a protective stone that will bring peace.  Includes a wood tripod stand, carved from a single piece of wood, making this fantastic sphere great for display.
