Serpentine is a major rock forming mineral and is found as a constituent in many metamorphic and weather igneous rocks.  It often colors many of these rocks to a green color and most rocks that have a green color probably have serpentine in some amount.  Serpentine is actually a general name applied to several members of a polymorphic group. These minerals have essentially the same chemistry but different structures.  The following is a list of these minerals, their formulas and symmetry class:
Antigorite; (Mg,Fe)3Si2O5(OH)4; monoclinic.
Clinochrysotile; Mg3Si2O5(OH)4; monoclinic.
Lizardite; Mg3Si2O5(OH)4; trigonal and hexagonal.
Orthochrysotile; Mg3Si2O5(OH)4; orthorhombic.
Parachrysotile; (Mg,Fe)3Si2O5(OH)4; orthorhombic.
