Here is a large natural serpentine specimen from the St. Mary's Mountain area near Kimberley, British Columbia, showcasing the rugged and varied character found in the rocks of the East Kootenays.
This is not being presented as a high-grade or top-quality specimen, but it is a substantial 15.8 lb piece with plenty of natural character to explore. The stone contains a mixture of deep green serpentine, dark magnetite, and quartz, creating an interesting combination of colours, textures, and mineral patterns throughout the material.
One of the highlights of this specimen is its full polished face, which brings out the natural contrast within the stone and allows you to see the different mineral components much more clearly. The darker magnetite areas stand out against the green serpentine, while quartz adds another layer of contrast and texture.
At approximately 9 inches tall × 7 inches wide × 4 inches thick, this is a genuinely large display stone with plenty of presence. It would make a great addition to a BC mineral collection, rock collection, lapidary display, geological classroom, office, or natural décor collection.

The beauty of this piece is in its raw mountain character. It isn't perfectly uniform, and that's part of what makes it interesting. The combination of dark magnetite, green serpentine, and quartz gives the polished face a natural story of the different minerals that came together to form this piece.
