Serpentine Jade

Serpentine jade is a green gemstone often used in jewelry, carvings, and spiritual items. Despite the name, it is not true jade. It belongs to the mineral group called serpentine, but it looks very similar to jade, so it’s sometimes marketed as “new jade” or “serpentine jade.” It usually ranges in color from light yellow-green to deep olive green.

What Serpentine Jade Is

Serpentine jade (often called New Jade or Xiuyan jade) is primarily known in lithotherapy as a powerful, balancing stone for Kundalini awakening, energetic detoxification, and emotional stability. It promotes muscle relaxation, helps clear blocked chakras, and is often used to facilitate spiritual exploration, inner peace, and protection against negative energy.
