Snakes and Stones

[Lord Sorril]

Well I think the shiny green looks awsome

I'm glad you like it! Even though I get a shine on a lot of stones--it does not match the polish I can get on agate (which is kinda the 'gold standard' in the hobby)...

Me too, but for some reason, I prefer the name "serpentine"?

I like the name 'Serpentine' too! What I also find amusing is that Serpentine is also called Serpentinite and is formed through the process of 'Serpentization'...which sounds like someone/something getting transformed into a snake...but unfortunately is actually far less interesting...

For reference:
Serpentization - a processes whereby rock is changed with the addition of water into the crystal structure of the minerals found within the rock.
