Beautiful Seraphinite pendants, earrings and ring individually or as a set.
The name Seraphinite comes from the biblical seraphs or seraphim angels. Seraphinite is mined in a limited area of eastern Siberia in Russia. Often called green chlorite, it’s typically a deep forest green with silvery, feather-like additions of mica. Rarely, it can appear in variations of red, yellow, gold, or black. Seraphinite stone’s name derives from the Greek word seraphim, meaning “winged heavenly being,” because of its iridescent, feather-like fibers. The fibers have a likeness to silver, feathery wings flying within a gem of deep forest green.
Seraphinite, scientifically known as clinochlore, was first described in the late 19th century by Russian mineralogist Nikolay Koksharov. Mined almost exclusively in the Lake Baikal region of Siberia, its poetic name was coined because its chatoyant, feathery-like filaments resemble the wings of the celestial Seraphim angels
The Origin of the Name: The name “Seraphinite” is a modern trade name rather than a scientific classification. It pays homage to the Seraphim, a high-ranking order of angels in Judeo-Christian tradition that is said to possess three pairs of wings. The stone’s deep, dark-green base is overlayed with iridescent, silver fibers that shimmer when the crystal is rotated, heavily mimicking the visual appearance of a celestial wing
