Serpentine is usually some shade of green and it is therefore it is often called Jade (using names like New Jade, Afghan Jade, Green Jade, Lemon Jade, Olive Jade and Yellow Jade). However, serpentine is softer and less dense than most real jade. Its name comes from the word "serpent," or snake, and the suffix "-ine," or like. This could be because the mottled colors and patterns on some types resemble snakeskin, or because it historically was thought to protect the wearer from snake bites. Most of the rest of its history is that of jade, as the two were so often confused. Metaphysically, serpentine is said to restore self-confidence, dispel fear and enhance meditation. It also is believed to balance female hormones and increase milk production in nursing mothers. Serpentine is found in the British Isles, China, South Africa and the U.S.A.
