  • Serpentine minerals form where peridotite dunite, and other ultramafic rocks undergo hydrothermal metamorphism.  They are metamorphosed at convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate is pushed down into the mantle. The source of water for this process is seawater entrained in the rocks and sediments of the oceanic slab.
  • During hydrothermal metamorphism, olivine and pyroxene minerals are transformed into or are replaced by serpentine minerals.
  • The stone is 1 1/2 inch x 1 1/8 inch.  The crown depth is 1/4 inch.
  • Cabochon is hand-cut and polished.  Back of stone is not polished.
