SERPENTINE STONE_

One of the most common types of stone used, serpentine, is often marked by inclusions—and inclusion referring to any material that is trapped inside a mineral during its formation. The inclusions in serpentine give it its unique colour variations. This type of rock is commonly found in Nunavut, especially in Kinngait (Cape Dorset) where it is abundant, and throughout the Arctic

Serpentine is a semi-soft metamorphic rock, which allows carvers to create more complex compositions with a higher degree of detail if they so choose. It can be polished to a high shine and lustre. Serpentine is often thought of as being green, but it can be found in brown, dark olive and even black shades.
