Serpentine (part of the kaolinite-serpentine group) is a green/yellow/brown, or spotted mineral commonly found in serpentinite rocks. They are used as a source of magnesium and asbestos, and as a decorative stone. The name is thought to come from the greenish color being that of a serpent. The serpentine group describes a group of common rock-forming hydrous magnesium iron phyllosilicate minerals.
