Seraphinite is a type of green clinochlore, a member of the chlorite group. Seraphinite was named after its resemblance to feathers due to its chatoyancy, or cat eye effect. With some specimens the resemblance is quite strong, with shorter down-like feathery growths leading into longer "flight feathers". Named for the Seraphim angels, a celestial or heavenly being originating in Ancient Judaism. Found only in a limited area of Siberia, Russia.
Seraphinite promotes living from the heart. It cleanses the aura, strengthens, activates and balances all chakras. Causes old patterns of disease or imbalance to fall away, thus creating space for new patterns of well-being to form. Seraphinite is healing for nerves and brain cells. Pyrite has long been valued as a strong protection stone that shields the wearer from negative energy. It also brings prosperity and good fortune.
Seraphinite is a trade name for a particular, dark-green, feathery form of the mineral clinochlore. This material is mined exclusively from the Korshunovskoye iron skarn deposit in the Irkutskaya Oblast of Eastern Siberia. It apparently acquired its name due to its resemblance to feathers due to its chatoyancy. Seraphinite is named after the biblical seraphs or seraphim angels.
