Selenite is fibrous gypsum formed as ancient saline water evaporated, translucent white with a satin optical fiber.

Selenite is a crystalline form of gypsum, laid down where ancient salt water evaporated and left soft fibrous beds behind. It is named after Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, for the way light travels along the fiber.
This piece is raw, with only the base cut flat so it stands on its own. No stand needed and none included.
It comes from New Mexico, USA, which sits over one of the major North American gypsum deposits.
Selenite is traditionally worked with for cleansing and for clearing a space rather than for a specific outcome. It is linked to the crown chakra, and the association leans toward openness and quiet rather than intensity.
If that resonates, this is a piece people tend to keep somewhere light passes through it, a windowsill or a nightstand, where the fiber catches.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
