Healerite is a certain type of Serpentine, The mineral serpentine or clinochrysotile is a magnesium iron silicate with the chemical formula (Mg, Fe) 3Si2O5 (OH) 4. It belongs to the phyllosilicates. The amorphous mineral can be red, yellow, white and green. The green color is typical of the mineral in the mantle rock serpentinite. The hardness is 2.5 to 4, depending on the composition and serpentine has an average density of 2.59. One of these species is covered by asbestos. The inhalation of this species is harmful to health. The mineral serpentine, like the rock serpentinite, is named after the Latin word serpens, meaning "snake". The form in which the minerals have grown in the rock is reminiscent of the shape of a snake. It was also used in the past as a cure for snake bites. The other name for serpentinite, clinochrysotile, is derived from the Greek words clinos, chrysos and tilos ("crooked, crooked", "gold" and "fiber" respectively). It is so called by the gold-colored fibrous structure that the mineral can take. Serpentine is an indicative mineral for serpentinite, a peridotite usually converted by hydrothermal activity. Under the influence of pressure and temperature, the olivine and pyroxene from the mantle rock were converted into serpentine. This is called serpentinitis. The chemical reaction equation is: 4Mg2SiO4 (olivine) + 4H2O (1) + 2CO2 (aq) → Mg6Si4O10 (OH) 8 (serpentine) + 2MgCO3 (magnesite) Serpentine is for that reason a mineral found in those areas where mantle rock is surface has come, usually in oranges. Serpentine is widely available in Greece and in the Alps.
