Seraphinite is a trade name for a particular form of clinochlore, a member of the chlorite group. The name is derived from the resemblance of feathers in the pattern of the stone. Sometimes the pattern is obvious, sometimes it is not. The stone is generally dark green to gray in color, has chatoyancy, and a Mohs hardness between 2 and 4. The word Seraph is from Isaiah 6 in the Hebrew Testament, and refers to winged angelic beings in service of God.
This beautiful stone is mined in a small area in Siberia and as a result is somewhat rare and expensive.
Metaphysical properties: Seraphinite is a member of the "chlorite" group, which is extremely healing and dispells negative emotions by helping you stop those emotions at their source. Use with carnelian and ruby to prevent negative energies returning. Use with chlorite inclused quartz for any gridwork and to strengthen all work.
Known as a stone of spiritual enlightenment, seraphinite is known as one of the Angel Crystals. It cleanses the aura. Placed on the crown chakra it will align all chakras. Placed on the heart chakra, seraphinite provides protection and allows you to release unconditional love.
This stone works best when carried on the body.
