In this freezing February weather, with the trees still bare, the sky’s often grey hue and when it is sunny, glaring harshly through the trees, the lush deep forest green of Serpentine calls to me and makes me swoon extra hard. Vivid Forest Green Serpentine has been treasured throughout West Africa for more than a thousand years. These ancient hand shaped and drilled stone beads were found in Mauritania and Mali, where they are though to have been imported into Africa across important trade routes for Gold, Copper, and Salt at the height of the Empire of Mali. Their origin was the Indus Valley, which was the location of two major Ancient Cultures; the Harappan and Mohenjo-Daro Civilizations. These Precious Serpentine Beads are in the same configuration as they were purchased in Mali years ago. They have been lovingly restrung on fresh cotton cord by our New York City staff.

This beautiful Green Serpentine 9mm Knotted Mala with Silk Tassel may not be everyone’s favorite color, but it sure is a unique and distinctive one! Serpentine enhances meditative states, and aids in retrieval of ancient wisdom. Associated with the Heart Chakra, the green stone can assist with healing problems within the heart and lungs, boost energy, and it is an excellent stone for cellular regeneration. Meditate on (and with!) that!
