SERPENTINE 01 - Quarry Air (All-Natural Compound Essential Oil)

**Quarry Air** VERDE's inaugural limited edition scent. Developed with inspiration drawn from the serpentine stone quarries of Hualien. It began with visits to the mining areas, forests, and excavation sites, attempting to capture the scent of the air in the forest during misty mornings, as well as the cool, quiet, and grounding touch of serpentine stone itself. The aroma evokes a damp forest, with notes of pine, fir wood, and a subtle hint of resin. It's like the mist on a mountain path after rain, or the cool sensation emanating from stone covered in moisture. As it diffuses over time, it gradually transforms into a gentle woody and earthy finish, leaving a calm and steady atmosphere in your space. We hope this is more than just a fragrance, but a **sensory record of mountains, stone, and forest air.** Ideal for applying to serpentine diffusers, raw stone incense holders, or corners of your space, allowing the scent to slowly diffuse over time. **Usage Recommendations** The scent profile of Quarry Air is specifically designed to complement VERDE's serpentine stone diffuser series. The porous nature of the stone itself allows the scent to diffuse more slowly and quietly into the space. **Enjoy a special limited-time offer on Quarry Air with the purchase of any VERDE diffuser stone product.** Key Fragrance Notes | Pine, Black Spruce, Cypress, Frankincense, Patchouli, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Rose, among others. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53980682427_152ae5cbf6_b.jpg 〖 Photo credit: Sandai Mining Quarry 〗 Green "Serpentine" — While not as renowned as white stone, nor a fixture in the high-fashion circles of the stone world, it often serves as a fallback to Italy's Carrara White and is a common, easily replicated marble pattern. It lacks the steadfast grandeur of black stone or the approachability of grey stone. However, **green serpentine is the stone that most vividly expresses its own color: with large white veining, it appears wild and unrestrained; with black striations, it exudes grace and maturity; even surfaces with the most uniform veining display a distinctive temperament—an innate pride that cannot be imitated.** Due to its physical properties closely resembling marble, serpentine is commercially classified as marble. The serpentine produced in eastern Taiwan, known for its excellent quality, was once highly favored worldwide, with exports forming a significant portion of the trade. This complex and unique stone has gradually faded from prominence in Taiwan. Beyond the older generation, modern individuals rarely have the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Taiwan's green marble. This is a regrettable loss, which is why we are dedicated to shedding serpentine's image of being known only to elders. Through simple, natural methods, we aim to capture the attention of younger audiences and garner more appreciation and recognition for this unique Taiwanese stone. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53981887709_3d679fef41_b.jpg VERDE is the lifestyle brand under Sandai Mining, currently the only domestic company continuously and fully extracting serpentine for building materials. Its establishment and product design are dedicated to showcasing the most natural form of stone through minimalist designs. Originating from Taiwan, we aspire to bring serpentine design products to the international stage. Beyond hoping to introduce more people to the inherent beauty of green marble, it is especially important to us to **take pride in Taiwan's significant asset, "serpentine stone," and to one day let more people worldwide recognize the excellence of Taiwanese marble.** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53980682397_f644fce019_b.jpg - Serpentine (also known as Jade Marble): A marble originating from Hualien, Taiwan, containing various mineral crystals. Its colors and textures are diverse, typically ranging from light to deep dark green. - All VERDE flat products are "untreated"! Only through polishing do we achieve a natural luster while maintaining the stone's integrity, making it safe for food use. - While marble generally feels hard, it possesses a delicate interior and can develop cracks from impact or drops. Please handle with care. - Marble surfaces have pores that "breathe," so dark liquids (e.g., red wine, coffee) can be absorbed. If spilled, wipe dry immediately. - VERDE's original intention is for the natural beauty of marble to be cherished. Therefore, if you cannot accept "non-customized" veining, please do not place an order. - If you find severe damage during unboxing due to transit, please retain the packaging and contact us immediately for an exchange of the same item. Claims made more than seven days after receipt will not be processed. - For any usage-related questions, feel free to contact us anytime via Facebook or Instagram. We will respond as soon as possible.
