Serpentine Group
The serpentine group is a pair of minerals, antigorite and chrysotile, that are hydrous
magnesium silicates. Chrysotile usually contains iron. In nature, antigorite is green, while
serpentine is light yellow. These very common minerals are the main minerals found in
serpentine, a metamorphic rock. Antigorite and chrysotile occur in Italy and throughout the
United States.
