•Serpentinization accompanied by:
-Redox and H2 generation
-Volumetric change
•3.3 g/cm3
•2.7 g/cm3
-Heat generation
Serpentinite is a rock composed predominantly of one or more serpentine minerals.
Serpentinite is one of the "green" rocks of the Pacific northwest.
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.
Syenite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaSyenite is a coarse-grained intrusive igneous rockof the same general composition as granite but with the quartz either absent or present in relatively small amounts (

Volcanic pipes such as kimberlite and lamproite are not common in California. Serpentinite, a metamorphic rock derived from oceanic crust, is more widespread in California due to the state's complex geology and history of subduction. However, actual volcanic pipes are rare in the state.

Serpentinite can contain the mineral Chrysotile, also known as white asbestos. Asbestos is carcinogenic (cancer causing) and can also if inhaled cause serious lung problems and is best avoided!

Serpentine can refer to something resembling a serpent in shape or movement, or it can relate to a type of dark green mineral often found in serpentinite rocks.
