Noble Serpentine – 5.7 lbs (≈ 2 585 g)

This substantial piece of Noble Serpentine comes from the Wild Turkey Mine in northeastern Washington State. It features visible banding and natural color variation typical of this material. Due to its natural structure, the stone can crack easily, so handling and cutting should be done with care.

All photos were taken with the stone wet to highlight its true color and pattern details.

Noble Serpentine is a green-hued metamorphic stone primarily composed of magnesium silicate minerals, found in the magnesite belt of northeast Washington. Its natural banding and smooth texture make it desirable for carving or display, though the ease of fracturing means it requires careful handling and may need reinforcement if used for precision lapidary work.
