This is a natural clinochlore specimen, commonly known as seraphinite, from the Korshunovskoye deposit, offered as an authentic collector mineral specimen.
The specimen displays the characteristic radiating, feather-like internal structure that gives seraphinite its distinctive appearance. The surface shows a natural polished effect, highlighting the silvery to green fibrous patterns without artificial enhancement. The visual texture and internal zoning are clearly visible and well preserved.
This clinochlore specimen is completely natural and untreated. No dyeing, impregnation, or artificial polishing has been applied beyond minimal surface smoothing to reveal the structure. All photographs show the exact specimen you will receive.
Clinochlore (seraphinite) from this locality is valued by collectors for its unique texture, structural pattern, and limited occurrence, making it suitable for private collections, cabinet displays, and educational mineral collections.

Mineralogy

Clinochlore is a magnesium-rich member of the chlorite mineral group, crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system. It commonly forms fibrous, platy, or radiating aggregates rather than distinct single crystals.
The variety known as seraphinite is distinguished by its characteristic silvery, feather-like internal patterns, caused by light reflection on fibrous crystal structures within the mineral.

Origin

This specimen originates from the Korshunovskoye deposit, a known source of high-quality clinochlore (seraphinite).
Material from this locality is appreciated for its strong internal pattern contrast and well-developed fibrous texture, which are clearly visible even without high-grade polishing. Specimens from Korshunovskoye are collected internationally and are considered representative for this mineral variety.

Why Collect

Clinochlore (seraphinite) is sought after by mineral collectors for its distinctive structure and visual uniqueness.
Reasons to collect:
  • Characteristic feather-like internal structure
  • Recognizable seraphinite appearance
  • Natural, untreated mineral specimen
  • Suitable for cabinet and reference collections
This specimen represents a classic example of clinochlore aggregate formation.
