Zebra Serpentine (Green Tiger Eye)
SCIENCE / MINERALOGY
Zebra Serpentine is a trade name for striped green serpentine-rich rock, sometimes marketed as Green Tiger Eye despite lacking the classic quartz-fiber chatoyancy of true tiger eye.
GEOLOGY & FORMATION
It forms through serpentinization and later veining or mineral segregation in altered ultramafic rock.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Its layered or contrasting patterning gives it a strong symbolic connection with balance, cycles, and recognizing structure inside complexity. Practitioners commonly use it as a contemplative aid for making constructive changes without abandoning patience or emotional balance.
