A hydration and metamorphic transformation of ultramafic rock from the Earth's mantle is called as serpentinization, a group of minerals is formed by serpentinization compose rock 'serpentinite'.
From English word serpentinization.
Durable Rock, Medium Hardness Rock
Fine Grained Rock, Opaque Rock
Black, Brown, Green, Grey, White
Decorative Aggregates, Interior Decoration
As Building Stone, Paving Stone, Garden Decoration, Office Buildings
As Dimension Stone, Cement Manufacture, for Road Aggregate, Making natural cement
Artifacts, Jewellery, Monuments, Sculpture
Commemorative Tablets, Creating Artwork
Due to change in environmental conditions, rocks are heated and pressurized deep inside the Earth's surface. Serpentinite is formed from the extreme heat caused by magma or by the intense collisions and friction of tectonic plates.
