Stone Axe with Handle, Natural Serpentine, Hand Carved.
Serpentinite is a rock composed of one or more serpentine group minerals. Minerals in this group are formed by serpentinization, hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic rock from the Earth's mantle. The mineral alteration is particularly important at the sea floor at tectonic plate boundaries, and because alterations may be incomplete in many cases, the physical properties of each specimen can vary tremendously. Gemstone quality serpentine (antigorite) is often referred to as 'noble serpentine' or 'precious' serpentine.
