Seraphinite (H8 Mg5 Al2 Si3 O18) is gem quality CLINOCHLORE of the chlorite group. It's a lovely dark-green stone that changes sparkle and light as you view it from different positions. It comes from the Korshunovskaia mine located not far from Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia, Russia. Its hardness is 2 to 2.5 (Moh’s Scale), density 2.6.
This mineral got its name from the Greek words for inclined and green since its structure is monoclinic and its common color is green. Seraphinite which is the gem variety of clinochlore has silvery chatoyant fibers much like charoite. It is difficult to say now who gave this “Angel” name to the stone, but they (the ubiquitous "they") say that it helps to contact angels and communicate with them.
Seraphinite is said to be the premier healing stone of this age. It is strongly recommended for the strengthening and activating of all chakras. This stone is also believed to cause old patterns of disease or imbalance to fall away. This creates a space for new patterns of well-being to form. Seraphinite is healing for nerves and brain cells.
