Seraphinite is a special form of clinochlore, a member of the chlorite group. Seraphinite's dark green color is enhanced by a silvery, feathery sheen caused by mica inclusions. Seraphinite was named after the seraphim, the highest line of angels, due to the shimmering, feather-like fibers in the stone. The mineral clinochlore was identified in 1851 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It has since been discovered in several other locations in the United States, including New York, Arizona, and New Jersey. Clinochlore can also be found in other countries, including Spain, Switzerland, Russia, Turkey, and Italy.
