Original Serpentine Stone (Zehar Mohra) – The Stone of Healing | Pakistan Gemstones

Description

Natural Serpentine (Zehar Mohra) – The Ancient Healer

Reconnect with the healing power of the earth with Original Serpentine, a gemstone steeped in history and folklore. In Pakistan and the broader Central Asian region, this stone holds legendary status as Zehar Mohra (The Stone that Counters Poison). It gets its English name, “Serpentine,” from its smooth, green, mottled skin that resembles a snake.

At Pakistan Gemstones, we specialize in the high-quality, translucent variety of Serpentine often found in the mountains of Balochistan and Afghanistan (specifically the Bowenite variety). While it is often sold in the market as “New Jade” or “Kashmiri Jade” due to its striking resemblance to the precious gem, Serpentine has its own unique, powerful identity.

Why Choose Serpentine from Pakistan Gemstones?

• The “Zehar Mohra” Legend: For centuries, kings used goblets made of Serpentine to drink wine and water, believing that if the liquid contained poison, the cup would break or change color. We bring you this same legendary stone in ring and pendant form.

• Jade Alternative: Real Jadeite is incredibly expensive. Our Serpentine offers the same lush, oily green look and cool touch at a fraction of the price.

• Origin: We source directly from the rugged terrains of the Pak-Afghan border, ensuring you get the authentic regional stone, not a dyed plastic fake.

Astrological Benefits of Serpentine

Serpentine is a powerful grounding stone that aligns the wearer with nature.

1. Zodiac Connection:

   • Gemini (Joza): It is highly beneficial for Gemini, helping to balance their dual nature and calm their restless energy.

   • Scorpio (Aqrab): Its connection to “Snake Energy” (Kundalini) makes it a natural match for Scorpio, aiding in their spiritual transformation and regeneration.

2. Planet Connection (Saturn):

   • Serpentine is an Earth stone, often linked to Saturn (Shani). It provides discipline and protection against bad luck. It clears the path for success by removing obstacles, much like a snake shedding its skin to grow.

3. Kundalini Awakening:

   • In spiritual traditions, Serpentine is the #1 stone for awakening the Kundalini Energy (coiled snake energy at the base of the spine). It is believed to help clear chakras and allow energy to flow freely up the spine, leading to spiritual enlightenment.

Healing Properties (Physical & Emotional)

Note: Gemstone therapy is spiritual and complementary, not a medical cure.

1. Physical Healing (The Detox Stone):

• Detoxification: True to its name “Zehar Mohra,” crystal healers believe Serpentine helps the body eliminate toxins. It is often used to support the kidneys and stomach.

• Snake Bites & Stings: In ancient folklore, this stone was placed on snake bites or bee stings to draw out the venom. While you should always seek a doctor today, it remains a symbolic talisman for protection against poisonous creatures.

• Diabetes and Parasites: Some traditional healers suggest Serpentine aids in regulating blood sugar (diabetes) and eliminating parasites from the body.

2. Emotional & Mental Healing:

• Correcting Emotional Imbalance: If you suffer from mood swings, Serpentine is a stabilizer. It helps you feel more in control of your life.

• Protection from Negative Magic: In local culture, Zehar Mohra is believed to be a shield against black magic (Jadoo) and the Evil Eye. It is thought to create a protective barrier around the aura.

Religious Compliance (Is it Permissible/Halal?)

At Pakistan Gemstones, we ensure our customers are well-informed about the religious aspects of wearing stones.

• Permissibility (Halal): Wearing Serpentine (Zehar Mohra) is Halal and permissible in Islam. It is a natural mineral created by Allah.

• Historical Context: Historical accounts suggest that vessels made of Zehar Mohra were used in Muslim courts for their believed ability to detect poison, showing it has been a culturally accepted stone for centuries.

• Correct Belief (Aqeedah): One must wear the stone with the firm belief that all protection (Hifazat) and cure (Shifa) come only from Allah. The stone creates nothing; it is a lifeless mineral. We use it as a Wasila (means) or Zeenat. Believing the stone independently cures poison or protects is Shirk.

• Guidelines for Men: Men are strictly prohibited from wearing Gold. Men should wear Serpentine set in a Silver (Chandi) ring. According to the Sunnah, the silver ring should weigh less than 1 Mithqal (approx. 4.374 grams). The olive-green color looks very modest and masculine in silver.

• Guidelines for Women: Women are free to wear Serpentine in any form of jewelry—necklaces, bracelets, or rings—in any metal.

Serpentine Price in Pakistan

Serpentine is a very affordable gemstone, making it popular for beads and carvings.
