Comments | serpentine | 2.50 | poor | Uneven | opaque | none | 2.50 | waxy | green | white | microcrystalline | silicates | Various shades of dark green to creamy white color. Waxy feel like soapstone. More a rock (serpentinite) than a mineral as several minerals are mashed together in the metamorphosis of ultra-mafic rock. |
