Green Serpentine
This attractive stone was created millions of years ago when peridotite, a rock rich in iron and magnesium, was thrust upwards from beneath the earth’s crust. The stone is a result of serpentinisation, a form of metamorphism involving heated seawater far below the ocean.
Used by George Bullock for his furniture, the Serpentine’s is hugely decorative and rare. The stone has often been used for console tables and object d’art.
Typical slab sizes are 1m x 0.5m; however they can vary.
