Selenite/Gypsum

Selenite is a crystalline variety of gypsum, a naturally occurring mineral composed of calcium sulfate formed through evaporative geological processes. Known for its luminous appearance and soft, light-reflecting surfaces, selenite displays exceptional clarity and delicate natural striations that make each specimen unique.

Gypsum forms in several distinct habits, including transparent selenite blades, fibrous satin spar, and sculptural natural formations. These variations highlight the diversity and elegance created by natural mineral growth over time.

Because gypsum is a relatively soft mineral, selenite pieces are best suited for display and gentle handling, making them ideal additions to curated collections, shelves, and decorative crystal displays.
