50004CYTH • Chytha (Serpentine/Jade) Tumbled • China • Large | SmokyMountainBeads.com

Chytha, a beautiful, rare stone made up of Serpentine and Jade.

Nephrite and Jadeite are the only two rocks that can be name as Jade. Nephrite is a magnesium-rich amphibole [any of a class of rock-forming silicate or aluminosilicate minerals typically occurring as fibrous or columnar crystals].

 

Serpentine was named in 1564 by Georgius Agricola (Georg Bauer) from the Latin "serpens" = snake in allusion to the mottled green appearance of the mineral suggesting the resemblance to some snakes. The lightest shade of green is often called "New Jade".
