Seraphinite cab ~
Offered here is a pleasing cabochon cut from seraphinite, which hails from Russia's Lake Baikal area in eastern Siberia. Seraphinite is technically clinoclore, a gemmy form of chlorite in mica. It is very reminiscent of charoite, another Russian material, though it has beautiful shades of green with radiating fern-like patterns of paler green and silver, rather than purple. Like charoite, it has marked depth and flashy chatoyance, and this one is a particularly nice example. The stone has a well rounded dome of 6mm, a designer 'paisley' shape, with a smooth glossy polish both front and back.
