Seraphinite comes from a specific type of clinochlore. This relatively rare mineral which is part of the chlorite group can only be found in Russia.

Although quite soft, seraphinite is widely used as a gemstone because of its attractive feather-like patterns. These are caused by inclusions of mica. The presence of mica in seraphinite can also cause some material to be slightly chatoyant.

The clinochlore for seraphinite comes from an iron mine in eastern Siberia called Korshunovskoe. Although known for a number of years it only started appearing outside of Russia more recently.

It didn't take long for seraphinite to start attracting attention from rock and mineral enthusiasts around the world. Gradually larger quantities then began finding their way out of Russia.

Although more readily available now than it once was, large quantities of fine grade seraphinite is still difficult to find. Due to the current political situation in Russia, the situation is unlikely to improve and if anything will get worse.

The silvery-white inclusions of mica in seraphinite tend to radiate outwards. This gives the stone a feather-like appearance which has been likened to the wings of an angel.

For this reason when used for its metaphysical healing properties seraphinite has become closely associated with these celestial beings.
