Fun facts
Serpentine is a family of green magnesium silicate minerals, and magnetite is the naturally magnetic iron oxide that gave the lodestone its pull. Where the two grow together the dark magnetite grains often answer to a magnet, a quick way to tell this stone from plain serpentine.
Care and cleansing
Serpentine is soft (Mohs 3 to 5) and magnetite is heavy and iron rich, so keep the piece dry and store it apart from harder stones. Wipe with a soft dry cloth, skip salt and long soaks, and keep magnetic pieces away from bank cards, phones and watches. Cleanse with smoke, sound or moonlight.
