🪨 Material Overview, History, and Geology
Seraphinite is the trade name for a striking green variety of clinochlore, a member of the chlorite mineral group. It is admired for its shimmering, feather-like chatoyance that often resembles angel wings — hence the name, derived from the biblical seraphs (seraphim).
Most high-quality Seraphinite comes from the Korshunovskoye iron deposit in Irkutskaya Oblast, Siberia, Russia, though related chlorite minerals are found elsewhere in Europe and the United States. It’s a relatively soft material and should be handled with care when cutting or polishing, but its ethereal luster makes it well worth the effort.
