Add a remarkable piece of Purcell Mountains serpentine from British Columbia, Canada to your collection. This large 31 lb natural serpentine specimen has been partially polished to showcase the stone's natural colors, mineral patterns, and geological structure while intentionally leaving portions of the raw exterior exposed.
Measuring approximately 15 inches long × 7 inches wide, this is a substantial display specimen that gives you both sides of the stone's character—the smooth, polished interior reveals the intricate mineral patterns, while the untouched outer surfaces preserve its original natural texture.
Natural Serpentine from the Purcell Mountains
This material is serpentine, not jade. Serpentine minerals commonly form through geological alteration of ultramafic rocks associated with Earth's mantle. The geological processes that bring these rocks toward the surface can create complex mixtures of minerals, producing the striking patterns and color variations seen throughout this specimen.
The stone contains a fascinating combination of green serpentine, dark magnetite, iron-rich inclusions, quartzite, quartz veining, and areas of pyrite mineralization. The combination of polished surfaces and natural raw edges makes this piece especially interesting for collectors and anyone who appreciates the geological story preserved within natural stone.
Bulk Polished Display Piece
This specimen is being offered primarily as a large bulk polished display piece. It is ideal for:
Mineral and rock collections
Geological displays
Lapidary enthusiasts
Natural-stone décor
Museum or educational displays
Rock and mineral shops
Interior or outdoor displays
Custom lapidary projects
The raw outer surfaces are intentionally preserved, providing a natural contrast against the polished areas and allowing you to see the original character of the material.
