• Seraphinite is found primarily in the Lake Baikal region of Siberia, Russia. It is only mined in small quantities, which makes it a relatively rare and expensive gemstone.

• The green color of seraphinite is caused by the presence of iron, while the silver-white patterns are formed by inclusions of mica or other minerals. The patterns are often described as resembling angel wings or feathers, which adds to the stone's mystical and symbolic significance.
