Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine named after one of the main countries where it is mined. In Pakistan, it is often referred to as onyx, especially the whiter and more translucent varieties. The lion is a Buddhist symbol, representing the lion's roar power of the Buddha's teachings and the Buddha's early life as a royal. The symbolism of the lion and the inner-peace bringing properties of Mangano will encourage a process of spiritual self-discovery and finding your authentic self. Afghan Jade is the stone for Kundalini awakening. Serpentine means ‘stone snake’. It is the name given to a group of magnesium-based asbestos and silicate minerals found in the larger Serpentinite family of minerals. It is formed through plate tectonics and is found on every continent. Serpentine provides powerful healing energy and is linked to our Kundalini energy. When dormant, Kundalini energy lies coiled at the base of the spine. Its release is transformative. Afghan Jade is generally translucent to opaque, varying in colour from white, light to dark green and can also occur with yellow, black or pink.
