It is believed that seraphinite owes its name to the seraphim angels, who endowed the mineral with the ability to heal. In nature, seraphinite is very rare. Another name for the mineral, clinochlore, translated from Greek means "tilt green."
Mineralogist Koksharov was the first to mention an unusual stone in his writings in the 19th century. By the beginning of the new century, specialists interested in the search for natural analogues of tourmaline, malachite and emerald became interested in the mineral.
Features, varieties
The mineral is formed by small layers tightly adjacent to each other. Most of all in the composition of chromium and calcium. The color of the crystal is determined by the concentration of chromium oxide in its composition. If it is less than 4%, the crystals are bright pink, as the amount of the mineral increases, it becomes darker.
In honor of the researchers, varieties of seraphinite are named:
- purple or red kemmererite;
- violet-pink and lilac kochubeite;
- green or brown ripidolite;
- dirty gray sheridanite.
The semi-transparent gem is very soft. Flakes with a pearlescent sheen are easily separated from each other. The rock does not tolerate exposure to either ultraviolet radiation or hot steam. Neither chemistry nor aggressive acids can be used to clean the crystals. The stone is wiped with a damp, warm, soft cloth.
Even the smallest scratches break the natural pattern. Therefore, jewelry is kept away from the sun and moisture with a casket upholstered with soft fabric.
