Seraphinite cab ~
Offered here is a delightful 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 strongly reminds me 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 chatoyance, and this one is a good example. The stone has a very high rounded dome of 8.5mm, with a super glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 42x23mm
Weight: approximately 52 carats
