So a while back, my husband brought home from work a box of mixed fossils, raw gems, and odd bits of metal found on trips all over the place. Someone's relative had passed it on; it had been through several hands before it reached ours, and almost nothing is labeled.
Looking at some of it this morning, I pulled out this green stone and tried to figure out what it was. I'm torn between some kind of granite or serpentine, but I really don't know enough about stones to figure this out. Any thoughts?

Serpentine comes in so many colour variations, but the combination of the pale and dark green, in that rich apple colour, with some opaqueness vs transparency, it really feels like serpentine. I love this stone. i have a large chunk of it in the centre of my labyrinth, as it heals both the earth and people, and creates a very calm and peaceful energy. It's a pity that it's unpolished, as an unpolished piece would have offered a clue in its waxy feel...
