Green Serpentine is a popular carving stone among artists and sculptors due to its striking green color and unique texture. This metamorphic rock is composed of a combination of minerals, including serpentine, which gives it its distinct hue. Its smooth surface and relatively soft composition make it easy to carve into intricate designs and shapes, making it a favorite among those looking to create detailed artworks. Additionally, Green Serpentine is believed to have metaphysical properties that promote healing, balance, and creativity, adding an extra layer of appeal for spiritual individuals.
Turtle (Edo:wa): Turtle has always been esteemed because it carries its home on its back and goes with the flow of the river, not against it. In some mythologies, the first North Americans envisioned the continent as a turtle because it was surrounded by water. Turtle reminds us to respect Mother Earth.
