Serpentine is an attractive and commonly‚ used carving stone. Our Serpentine is rated‚ at 1.5 - 2.5 (medium/hard) on the nonlinear‚ Mohs Hardness Scale which means‚ its absolute hardness is up to 2 times that‚ of soapstone. It possesses a homogenous structure (i.e. same composition throughout the stone) and can be polished to a glossy finish using 1200 grit wet¢‚¬„¢n dry abrasive paper. Finished Serpentine can often be difficult to distinguish from Jade; a testament to the beauty of this fine material.
