What is the mineral composition of serpentinite?
none is really sure
Are kimberlite lamproite and serpentinite volcanic pipes common in California?
There are no known kimberlite or lamproite volcanic pipes in California. There are many serpentinite bodies present, but these are generally not volcanic pipes and are not of deep seated origin.
Is soapstone a igneous or a sedimentary or a metamorphic rock?
Soapstone is a metamorphic rock. It is formed through the metamorphism of ultramafic rocks, such as peridotite or serpentinite. This process involves high heat and pressure, which causes the minerals in the rock to recrystallize, resulting in the formation of soapstone.
Is serpentine a igneous rock?
Serpentine is itself a category of Minerals. Minerals are not Rocks in that Minerals are homogenous (one substance) whereas Rocks are heterogenous (many substances). All Rocks contain Minerals in a fixed proportion. Serpentinite is a Metamorphic Rock made of Serpentine-Group Minerals pressed together at the bottom of the sea-floor and heated by magma. In order to be an Igneous Rock, a Rock has to itself be a form of crystallized magma, not merely heated by magma.

Why are people not allowed to touch serpentinite rocks?

What are some example names of foliated and un-foliated rocks?
Some examples of foliated rocks include slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss. Amphibolite can be either foliated or nonfoliated. Examples of nonfoliated rocks include anthracite coal, hornfels, serpentinite, soapstone, quartzite, marble, and metaconglomerate.
