	Serpentine (Mineral) - LoveToKnow 1911
		SERPENTINE, a mineral which, in a massive and impure form, occurs on a large scale as a rock, and being commonly of variegated colour, is often cut and polished, like marble, for use as a decorative stone.
		It is generally held that the name was suggested by the fancied resemblance of the dark mottled green stone to the skin of a serpent, but it may possibly refer to some reputed virtue of the stone as a cure for snake-bite.
		Serpentine was probably, at least in part, the XLOos 6cgrns of Dioscorides and the ophites of Pliny; and this name appears in a latinized form as the serpentaria of G. Agricola, writing in the 16th century, and as the lapis serpentinus and marmor serpentinum of other early writers.
