Gloria Romero's Bill

I reckon that there should probably be a separate section on Serpentine as the state rock, if its included. It shouldn't be in the lede as it's just a news item at the moment and is hardly one of the most important aspects of this rock type. Mikenorton (talk) 21:33, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Serpentine in an asteroid?

There's some speculation http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20727794.100-solved-mystery-of-the-meteorshedding-asteroid.html that the asteroid Phaethon may contain Serpentine, which would explain why it is the source of the Geminid meteors. Mcswell (talk) 02:20, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is someone able to contribute some information explaining the alkalinity of the reaction products? As distinct from the acidity of volcanic hot vents, this is supposed to be of significance in abiogenesis conjectures. [1] Cesiumfrog (talk) 02:44, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
